FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”) provides a safe harbor for forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 made by or on behalf of P&F Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”). The Company and its representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Report”), and in its reports to stockholders. Any statements made in the Report that are not historical or current facts may be deemed to be forward looking statements. Generally, the inclusion of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “should” and their opposites and similar expressions identify statements that constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. Any forward-looking statements contained herein, including those related to the Company’s future performance, are based upon the Company’s historical performance and on current plans, estimates and expectations.

PART I

 

ITEM 1.Business

 

P&F Industries, Inc., (“P&F”) is a Delaware corporation incorporated on April 19, 1963. P&F (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) conducts its 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”), Universal Air Tool Company Limited (“UAT”) and Jiffy Air Tool, Inc. (“Jiffy”), are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of Florida Pneumatic. The business of Air Tool Service Company (“ATSCO”) operates through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hy-Tech. Effective October 25, 2019, the Company through a wholly owned subsidiary of Hy-Tech, acquired substantially all the operating assets comprising the businesses of Blaz-Man Gear, Inc. and Gear Products & Manufacturing, Inc., each an Illinois-based corporation that manufactured and distributed custom gears.

   

Florida Pneumatic

 

 Florida Pneumatic imports and sells pneumatic hand tools, most of which are of its own design, primarily to the retail, industrial, automotive and aerospace markets. Its products include sanders, grinders, drills, saws and impact wrenches. These tools are similar in appearance and function to electric hand tools, but are powered by compressed air, rather than by electricity or battery. Air tools, as they are more commonly referred to, generally offer better performance and weigh less than their electrical counterparts. Florida Pneumatic imports and/or manufactures approximately seventy-five types of pneumatic hand tools, most of which are sold at prices ranging from $50 to $1,000, under the names “Florida Pneumatic,” “Universal Tool”“Jiffy Air Tool”, AIRCAT, NITROCAT, as well as under the trade names or trademarks of several private label customers. These products are sold to retailers, distributors, manufacturers and private label customers through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers’ representatives. The AIRCAT and NITROCAT brands of pneumatic tools are sold primarily to the automotive service and repair market (“automotive market”). Users of Florida Pneumatics’ hand tools include industrial maintenance and production staffs, do-it-yourself mechanics, professional automobile mechanics and auto body personnel. Jiffy manufactures and distributes pneumatic tools and components primarily to aerospace manufacturers.

 

There are redundant supply sources for nearly all products purchased.

 

The primary competitive factors in the industrial and automotive market are quality, breadth and availability of products, customer service, technical support, price and brand name awareness. The primary competitive factors in the retail pneumatic tool market are price, service and brand-name awareness. The primary competitive factors in the aerospace market are quality, technology and service levels. Florida Pneumatics’ products are sold directly to the retailers, direct to customers and through distributors. Currently, there is minimal seasonality to Florida Pneumatics’ revenue.

 

Jiffy manufactures its own products in the United States. It sources its raw materials from various well-established suppliers throughout the United States. There are redundant sources for all materials.

 

During 2019, of its purchased products, Florida Pneumatic sourced approximately 25% of its pneumatic tools from China, 73% from Taiwan with the balance from Japan, Europe and domestically. Florida Pneumatic performs final assembly on certain of its products at its factory in Jupiter, Florida.

ITEM 1A.Risk Factors

 

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

 

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

 

·Exposure to fluctuations in energy prices. Fluctuations in energy prices, including crude oil and gas prices, could negatively impact the activities of those of our customers involved in extracting, refining or exploring for crude oil and gas, resulting in a corresponding adverse effect on the demand for the products that they purchase from us. Prices for oil and gas are subject to large fluctuations in response to relatively minor changes in the supply of, and demand for, oil and gas, market uncertainty and a variety of other economic factors that are beyond our control. Worldwide economic, political and military events, including war, terrorist activity, events in the Middle East and initiatives by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), have contributed, and are likely to continue to contribute, to price and volume volatility. Such volatility could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 C:

·Risks associated with sourcing from overseas. We import finished goods and component parts. Any difficulty or inability on the part of manufacturers of our products or other participants in our supply chain in obtaining sufficient financing to purchase raw materials or to finance general working capital needs, or their inability to obtain raw materials due to shortages or other factors, may result in delays or non-delivery of shipments of our products. Additionally, material increases in raw material commodity prices could further adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. Our foreign suppliers may encounter interruption in their ability to continue to provide us with products on a short-term or long-term basis. Although we believe that there are redundant sources available and maintain multiple sources for most of our products, there may be costs and delays associated with securing such sources and there can be no assurance that such sources would provide the same quality of product at similar prices. Further, substantially all of our import operations are subject to customs’ requirements and to tariffs and quotas set by governments through mutual agreements, bilateral actions or, in some cases unilateral action. Imported products and materials may, from time to time, be subject to tariffs or other trade measures in the U.S. Adverse changes in these import costs and restrictions, or our suppliers’ failure to comply with customs regulations or similar laws could harm our business. Specifically, in 2018 the United States announced the implementation of new tariffs which include items imported by us from China. The implementation of additional tariffs, or increased amounts on current tariffs, on items imported by us from China or other countries could increase our costs and could result in lowering our gross margin on products sold and could cause us to have to stop supplying certain customers.

 

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

 

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

 

 C:

·Customer concentration.   We have several key customers, one of which accounted for approximately 20.7% of our 2019 consolidated revenue and 27.2% of our consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2019. Loss of key customers or a material negative change in our relationships with our key customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position.

 

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

 

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

 

·Unforeseen inventory adjustments or changes in purchasing patterns.   We make purchasing decisions based upon a number of factors including an assessment of market needs and preferences, manufacturing lead times and cash flow considerations. To the extent that our assumptions result in inventory levels being too high or too low, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position.

 

·Market acceptance of products.   There can be no assurance that the market continues its acceptance of the products we introduced in recent years or will accept new products (including the introduction of products into new geographic markets) introduced or scheduled for introduction in 2020. There can also be no assurance that the level of sales generated from these new products or geographic markets relative to our expectations will materialize.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 C: 
 8 
 

 

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

 

·Regulatory environment.   We cannot anticipate the impact of changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, taxation requirements, including tax rate changes, new tax laws and revised tax law interpretations, and environmental laws, in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Increased legislative and regulatory activity and burdens, and a more stringent manner in which they are applied, could significantly impact our business and the economy as a whole.

 

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

 

·Business disruptions or other costs associated with information technology, cyber-attacks, system implementations, data privacy, or catastrophic losses. We rely heavily on computer systems to manage and operate our businesses, and record and process transactions. Computer systems are important to production planning, customer service and order fulfillment among other business-critical processes. Consistent and efficient operation of the computer hardware and software systems is imperative to the successful sales and earnings performance. Despite efforts to prevent such situations, and loss control and risk management practices that partially mitigate these risks, our systems may be affected by damage or interruption from, among other causes, fire, natural disasters, power outages, system failures or computer viruses. Computer hardware and storage equipment that is integral to efficient operations, such as e-mail, telephone and other functionality, is concentrated in certain physical locations in which we operate. Additionally, we rely on software applications and enterprise cloud storage systems and cloud computing services provided by third-party vendors, and our business may be adversely affected by service disruptions or security breaches in such third-party systems. Security threats and sophisticated computer crime pose a potential risk to the security of our information technology systems, cloud storage systems, networks, services and assets, as well as the confidentiality and integrity of some of our customers' data. If we suffer a loss or disclosure of business or stakeholder information due to security breaches, including as a result of human error and technological failures, and business continuity plans do not effectively address these issues on a timely basis, we may suffer interruptions in our ability to manage operations as well as reputational, competitive or business harm, which may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

 

·Unforeseen events.   We cannot anticipate the impact of unforeseen events, including but not limited to war and pandemic disease, on economic conditions and consumer confidence in our business.

The risk factors described above are not intended to be all-inclusive. There can be no assurance that we have correctly identified and appropriately assessed all factors affecting our business or that the publicly available and other information with respect to these matters is complete and correct. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely impact us. Should any risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position.

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

 

KEY INDICATORS

 

Recent global events

 

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

 

Economic Measures  

 

Much of our business is driven by the ebbs and flows of the general economic conditions in both the United States and, to a lesser extent, abroad. 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 can have an impact on the consolidated results.

 

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

 

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

 

Operating Measures  

 

Key operating measures we use to manage our 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 to established objectives. To the extent that these measures are relevant, they are discussed in detail below.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

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

 

We consider the following policies and estimates to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the uncertainties that could impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our accounting policy relating to revenue recognition reflects the impact of the adoption of Accounting Standard Codification, (“ASC”) 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), which is discussed further in our Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result of our adoption of ASC 606 we record revenue based on a five-step model. We sell our goods on terms that 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. We offer rebates and other sales incentives, promotional allowances or discounts to certain customers, typically related to purchase volume, and are classified as a reduction of revenue and recorded at the time of sale, using the most likely amount approach. We periodically evaluate whether an allowance for sales returns is necessary. Historically, we have experienced minimal sales returns. If we believe there are material potential sales returns, we would provide the necessary provision against sales.

 

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

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

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

 

We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. We also may record as an additional allowance a certain percentage of aged accounts receivable, based on historical experience and our assessment of the general financial conditions affecting our customer base. If actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. We have a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given consolidated balance sheet date. Further, any unanticipated change in the creditworthiness of any of our customers could have a material effect on our results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur. After all reasonable attempts to collect an account receivable have failed, the amount of the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available, we believe that our allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 were adequate. However, actual write-offs in future periods could exceed the recorded allowance.

Inventories

 

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

 

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

 

In accordance and compliance with authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), we test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. This test is performed as of the last day in November, or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment might exist. Goodwill is tested at a level of reporting referred to as "the reporting unit." Our reporting units are Hy-Tech and Florida Pneumatic. We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is less than its fair value, no impairment exists, and no further action is required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the entity will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value.

 

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

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

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

 

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

Income Taxes

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

  

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

MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

 

Overview

 

During 2019, significant factors that impacted our results of operations were:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

        

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

 

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

 

Lastly, we believe that over time, several newer technologies and features will have a greater impact on the market for our traditional pneumatic tool offerings. The impact of this evolution has been felt initially by the advent of advanced cordless operated hand tools in the automotive aftermarket. We continue to perform a cost-benefit analysis of developing or incorporating more advanced technologies in our tool platforms.

 

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

 

 Unless otherwise discussed elsewhere in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we believe that our relationships with our key customers and suppliers remain satisfactory.

 Florida Pneumatic

 

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

 

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

The most significant component to the decline in Florida Pneumatic’s full-year 2019 revenue, compared to the full-year 2018 was lower sales to THD. It should be noted that during the third quarter of 2018, Florida Pneumatic shipped approximately $3.6 million of a then new, refreshed line of pneumatic tools and accessories to THD, whereas during 2019 there were no similar special or promotional orders. Additionally, we believe the reduction in our Retail revenue was partially due to THD being in an overstocked position at the end of 2018, which caused a reduction in orders during the early part of 2019. The decline in year-over-year Aerospace revenue was due primarily to significant orders being shipped to a customer in the first quarter of 2018 not repeating in 2019, and to a lesser degree, the decision by Boeing to reduce/suspend production of its 737 Max aircraft. When comparing 2019 Industrial revenue to that generated in 2018, the decline was due primarily to overall sluggishness in the sector and reduced orders from certain customers that service the aircraft industry that have been negatively affected by the reduction in production by Boeing of civilian aircraft. Automotive revenue for the year 2019 improved compared to full year revenue in 2018 primarily due to the launch of a new line of tools. This new line features enhanced vibration reduction technology and longer life of the internal mechanism. The reduction in revenue from our Other product lines was due to in part to Florida Pneumatic’s decision to adjust its focus away from its smaller lines to more profitable product lines.

 

Hy-Tech

 

 Hy-Tech designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of industrial products under the brands ATP and ATSCO which are categorized as “ATP” for reporting purposes. Products manufactured for other companies under their brands are included in the OEM category in the table below. NUMATX, Thaxton and other peripheral product lines, such as general machining and gears, are reported as “Other” below:

OEM  $7,321,000    47.8%  $5,447,000    38.2%  $1,874,000    34.4%
ATP  6,290,000    41.1  7,253,000    50.8  (963,000)   (13.3)
Other   1,706,000    11.1    1,575,000    11.0    131,000    8.3 
Total  $15,317,000    100.0%  $14,275,000    100.0%  $1,042,000    7.3%

 

Hy-Tech’s revenue overall increased in 2019, compared to 2018 by 7.3%. The 34.4% net increase in Hy-Tech’s OEM revenue was driven primarily by Hy-Tech’s Engineered Solutions products offering, which is designed to exploit Hy-Tech’s expertise in engineering and manufacturing and enable it to pursue alternate, non-traditional markets and develop different applications for its tools, motors and related accessories. We believe the development of the Engineered Solutions offering will continue to provide Hy-Tech an opportunity to generate additional sources of revenue in the future. Hy-Tech continues to see a decline in the marketplace for pneumatic tools and replacement parts, the primary factor for the 13.3% decline in ATP revenue. Historically, a major component of Hy-Tech’s revenue was derived from the oil and gas sector, which weakened in the second half of 2019. As a result, it intends to emphasize its Engineered Solutions product offering, and other newer technologies. As such, it is likely that Hy-Tech may encounter reduced ATP revenue in the future. Lastly, it believes the acquisition in October 2019 of the operating assets of Blaz-Man Gear, Inc. and Gear Products & Manufacturing, Inc. (the “Gears Acquisition”) should contribute strong gross margin gear related revenue in 2020.

   Year Ended December 31,   Increase (decrease) 
   2019   2018   Amount   % 
Florida Pneumatic  $17,058,000   $18,554,000   $(1,496,000)   (8.1)%
As percent of respective revenue   39.3%   36.6%   2.7% pts

Total Tools  $20,958,000   $23,187,000   $(2,229,000)   (9.6)%
As percent of respective revenue   35.7%   35.7%   0.0% pts     

 

 The improvement in gross margin at Florida Pneumatic in 2019, compared to the prior year, was due primarily to a) its decision to greatly reduce AIRCAT promotional programs in 2019 that were offered during much of 2018, b) during 2019, Jiffy was able to phase in various price increases, c) Jiffy improved its manufacturing efficiencies, d) overall Florida Pneumatic strengthened its product / customer mix, and e) a large reduction in sales to our low margin retail customer compared to 2018. 

 

The 7.0 percentage point decline in Hy-Tech’s 2019 gross margin was due to a number of factors: a) unusually high overhead and manufacturing costs incurred during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, in areas such as repairs and maintenance and sample costs; b) under absorption of manufacturing overhead, a significant portion occurring in the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to an enterprise-wide information technologies system conversion during the first quarter, which caused the facility to halt production for several days, c) increased charges in obsolete and slow-moving inventory, d) weaker gross margin mix of items sold in 2019, compared to those sold in 2018; and e) increased material and labor costs. In an effort to improve its gross margin in 2020, Hy-Tech intends to increase the selling price of several high-volume items, source less expensive parts imported from overseas and expand a cost reduction program that was put in place in late 2019.

 

 SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

 

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

  

Our SG&A during 2019 was $21,869,000, compared to $21,705,000 in 2018. Significant components to the net increase include: a) professional fees and services increased $392,000, due primarily to costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Gears Acquisition in October 2019 (see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements); b) governance costs increased $133,000, due primarily from additional costs incurred in 2019 in connection with an expanded examination of our internal controls; c) non-cash impairment charges during 2019 of approximately $99,000 related to a reduction of our Right-of-Use asset, which resulted from a decision by Hy-Tech to vacate a facility in Punxsutawney, PA prior to the lease expiration and an adjustment to the fair value of certain machinery and equipment of approximately $95,000. The above increases were partially offset by a) a decrease of $221,000 in compensation expenses, which is comprised of base salaries and wages, accrued performance-based bonus incentives and associated payroll taxes and employee benefits; b) a decrease of $189,000 in variable expenses, due primarily to lower Retail revenue. Variable expenses include such expenses as, commissions, freight out, advertising and promotion expenses and travel and entertainment; c) 2019 stock-based compensation declined $91,000, compared to the amount in the prior year.

 

OTHER EXPENSE - NET

 

During 2018 we adjusted the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation to the Jiffy Seller by $150,000.

GAIN ON SALE OF REAL PROPERTY

 

Effective June 18, 2019, Florida Pneumatic completed the sale of real property located in Jupiter, Florida in which it conducts its principal operations. This facility was purchased by an unrelated third party for purchase price of $9.2 million. After broker fees and other expenses relating to the sale, we received approximately $8.7 million and recorded a gain as a result of this sale of real property of approximately $7.8 million. See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

 

 INTEREST EXPENSE - NET

 

   Year Ended December 31, 
Interest expense – net attributable to:  2019   2018 
Short-term borrowings  $167,000   $118,000 
Term loans, including Capital Expenditure Term Loans   9,000    15,000 
Amortization expense of debt issue costs   22,000    95,000 
Interest income       (5,000)
           
Total  $198,000   $223,000 

 

The increase on short-term borrowing interest expense was due to higher average borrowings during 2019, compared to the average short-term borrowing in the prior year. Term Loan interest declined as the result of paying off the loan in its entirety in 2019. We and our bank amended the Credit Agreement in February 2019. The debt issue costs associated with such amendment, are significantly lower than the costs associated with the expiring Credit Agreement. As such, the amortization of debt issue costs during 2019 declined compared to the prior year.

 

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

 

 The provision for income taxes in 2019 was $1,797,000, compared to $253,000, in 2018. Significant factors impacting 2019’s net effective tax rate of 26.8%, were non-deductible permanent differences and state and local taxes. The net effective tax rate for 2018 was 22.8%. See Note 10 – Income Taxes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

 

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

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We monitor such metrics as days’ sales outstanding, inventory requirements, accounts payable and capital expenditures to project liquidity needs, as well as evaluate return on assets. Our primary sources of funds are operating cash flows and our Revolver Loan (“Revolver”) with our bank.

 

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

 

   December 31, 
   2019   2018 
Working capital  $22,115,000   $22,323,000 
Current ratio   2.92 to 1    3.26 to 1 
Shareholders’ equity  $46,506,000   $45,535,000

Credit facility

 

Our Credit Facility is discussed in detail in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.

 

The average balance of short-term borrowings during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, were $4,253,000 and $3,113,000, respectively.

 

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.

 

Sale of Real Property

 

Effective June 18, 2019 (the “Jupiter Closing Date”), Florida Pneumatic completed the sale of real property located in Jupiter, Florida in which it conducts its principal operations (the “Jupiter Facility”). The Jupiter Facility was purchased by an unrelated third party for purchase price of $9.2 million. After broker fees and other expenses relating to the sale, the Company received approximately $8.7 million. See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

 

Cash Flows

 

At December 31, 2019, cash used in operating activities for the year was $2,514,000, compared to cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $2,966,000. At December 31, 2019, our cash balance was $380,000, compared to $999,000 at December 31, 2018. Cash at our UAT subsidiary at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $85,000 and $227,000, respectively. We operate under the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. As a result, all domestic cash receipts are remitted to Capital One lockboxes.

 

Our total debt to total book capitalization (total debt divided by total debt plus equity) at December 31, 2019 was 10.8%, compared to 5.3% at December 31, 2018. We anticipate being able to generate cash from operations during 2020.

 

Capital spending during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $1,524,000, compared to $1,878,000 in 2018. Capital expenditures currently planned for 2020 are approximately $1,300,000, which we expect will be financed through the Credit Facility. The major portion of these planned capital expenditures will be for new metal cutting equipment, tooling and information technology hardware and software.

 

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

 

During 2019 our Board of Directors approved the payment of dividends of $0.05 per common share to the shareholders of record in March 2019, May 2019, August 2019, and November 2019. During 2018, our Board of Directors voted to approve the payment of four quarterly dividends. As such, in February 2018, May 2018, August 2018, and November 2018, the Company paid a $0.05 per share dividend to the shareholders of record. The aggregate of such dividend payments was approximately $632,000 and $723,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our Board of Directors intends to maintain this dividend policy; however, the future declaration of dividends under this policy is dependent upon several factors, which includes such things as our overall financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors our board may deem relevant.  

 

On February 14, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to repurchase 389,909 shares of its Common Stock from certain funds and accounts advised or sub-advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company or one of its affiliates in a privately negotiated transaction at approximately $7.62 per share for a total purchase price of $2,971,000. The agreed upon purchase price per share of $7.62 was computed as the value equal to 97% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days ended on February 7, 2019.

 

 C:

On September 12, 2018, following the expiration of a prior repurchase program, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to 100,000 additional shares of our Common Stock (the “2018 Repurchase Program”) from time to time over the next 12 months through a 10b5-1 trading plan, and potentially through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On September 14, 2018, we announced that, pursuant to the 2018 Repurchase Program, we adopted a written trading plan in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Repurchases made under the plan, that commenced on September 17, 2018, were subject to the SEC’s regulations, as well as certain price, market, volume, and timing constraints specified in the plan. Under the 2018 Repurchase Program, we repurchased 100,000 shares of our Common Stock, 66,602 during 2019 and 33,398 during 2018, at an aggregate cost of approximately $547,000 and $272,000, respectively.

 

Included in the change in Other current liabilities was the payment of $1,000,000, the contingent consideration, payable to the seller of Jiffy.

 

At December 31, 2019, we had $4,871,000 of open purchase order commitments, compared to $6,700,000 at December 31, 2018.

 

Customer concentration

 

At December 31, 2019, THD accounted for 20.7% of our consolidated revenue, compared to 26.5% of 2018’s revenue. Further, accounts receivable at December 31, 2019 and 2018 from THD were 27.2% and 32.6%, respectively. There was no other customer that accounted for more than 10% of revenue or accounts receivable in 2019 or 2018.

 

IMPACT OF INFLATION

 

We believe that the effects of changing prices and inflation on our consolidated financial position and our results of operations have been minimal.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

  

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of P&F Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of P&F Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These Consolidated Financial Statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

 Adoption of New Accounting Standard

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ASC 842, beginning January 1, 2019 and applied the practical expedients consistently for all of its leases.

 

/s/ CohnReznick LLP  
   
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2008.

P&F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein include the accounts of P&F Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (“P&F” or the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.  

 

The Company

 

P&F is a Delaware corporation incorporated on April 19, 1963. The Company conducts its 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”), Universal Air Tool Company Limited (“UAT”) and Jiffy Air Tool, Inc. (“Jiffy”), are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of Florida Pneumatic. The business of Air Tool Service Company (“ATSCO”) operates through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hy-Tech. Effective October 25, 2019, the Company through a wholly owned subsidiary of Hy-Tech, acquired substantially all the operating assets comprising the businesses of Blaz-Man Gear, Inc. and Gear Products & Manufacturing, Inc., each an Illinois-based corporation that manufactures and distributes custom gears. See Note 2 – Acquisition, for further discussion

 

 Florida Pneumatic imports and sells pneumatic hand tools, most of which are of its own design, primarily to the retail, industrial, automotive and aerospace markets. Its products include sanders, grinders, drills, saws and impact wrenches. These tools are similar in appearance and function to electric hand tools, but are powered by compressed air, rather than by electricity or battery. Air tools, as they are more commonly referred to, generally offer better performance and weigh less than their electrical counterparts. Florida Pneumatic imports and/or manufactures approximately 75 types of pneumatic hand tools, most of which are sold at prices ranging from $50 to $1,000, under the names “Florida Pneumatic,” “Universal Tool”“Jiffy Air Tool”, AIRCAT, NITROCAT, as well as under the trade names or trademarks of several private label customers. These products are sold to retailers, distributors, manufacturers and private label customers through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers’ representatives. The AIRCAT and NITROCAT brands of pneumatic tools are sold primarily to the automotive service and repair market (“automotive market”). Users of Florida Pneumatics’ hand tools include industrial maintenance and production staffs, do-it-yourself mechanics, professional automobile mechanics and auto body personnel. Jiffy manufactures and distributes pneumatic tools and components primarily to aerospace manufacturers.

  

Hy-Tech designs, manufactures and distributes industrial tools, systems, gearing, accessories and a wide variety of replacement parts under various brands including ATP, Numatx, Thaxton and Quality Gear.  Hy-Tech produces and sells heavy-duty pneumatic impact tools, grinders, air motors, hydro-pneumatic riveters, hydrostatic test plugs, impact sockets and custom gears, with prices ranging from $300 to $42,000.

 

Hy-Tech’s ”Engineered Solutions” products are sold direct to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM’s”), and industrial branded products are sold through a broad network of specialized industrial distributors serving power generation, petrochemical, aerospace, construction, railroad, mining, ship building and fabricated metals. Hy-Tech works directly with their industrial customers, designing and manufacturing products from finished components to complete turnkey systems to be sold under their own brand names.

 

Nearly all of Hy-Tech brands are manufactured in the United States of America. Hy-Tech does distribute ATP branded impact sockets, striking wrenches and accessories imported from Italy and Asia.

 

The sales of Hy-Tech products through various channel and direct customers are managed by both direct sales personnel and a network of specialized manufacturer representatives. Further, its products are sold as standard off-the-shelf and also produced to be sold for customer specific specifications.

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The Company prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”).

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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"), which it adopted effective January 1, 2018. 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 that are typically related to customer purchase volume, all of which 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.

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

  

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

 

The Company analyzes its revenue as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash held in bank demand deposits. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

   

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported for long-term debt approximate fair value as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 because, in general, the interest rates underlying the instruments fluctuate with market rates. 

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its products to retailers, distributors and original equipment manufacturers involved in a variety of industries. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition, and although the Company generally does not require collateral, letters of credit may be required from customers in certain circumstances.

 

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

 

The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. The Company also records as an additional allowance a certain percentage of aged accounts receivable, based on historical experience and the Company’s assessment of the general financial conditions affecting its customer base. If actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. The Company has a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date. Any unanticipated change in the creditworthiness of any of these customers could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur. After all reasonable attempts to collect an account receivable have failed, the amount of the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available, the Company believes that its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2019 is adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.  

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

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

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company had one customer that accounted for 27.2% and 32.6% of its consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Further, this customer accounted for 20.7% and 26.5% of the Company’s consolidated revenue in 2019 and 2018, respectively. There was no other customer that accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue in 2019 or 2018.

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The inventory balance, which includes raw materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead costs, is recorded net of an allowance for obsolete or unmarketable inventory. Such allowance is based upon both historical experience and management’s understanding of market conditions and forecasts of future product demand. If the actual amount of obsolete or unmarketable inventory significantly exceeds the estimated allowance, the Company’s cost of sales, gross profit and net earnings would be significantly affected.

 

Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Generally, the Company capitalizes items in excess of $1,000. Minor replacements and maintenance and repair items are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

 

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

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

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

 

Acquisitions

 

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

 

Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets

 

Goodwill is carried at cost less any impairment charges. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to an annual test for impairment at the entity unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) and between annual tests in certain circumstances. In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”), the Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. This test occurs in the fourth quarter or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit is less than its fair value, no impairment exists, and no further action is required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the entity will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value.

 

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

 

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

 

Warranty Liability

 

The Company offers certain warranties against product defects for periods ranging from one to three years. Certain products carry limited lifetime warranties. The Company’s typical warranties require it to repair or replace the defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. At the time the product revenue is recognized, the Company records a liability for estimated costs. The costs are estimated based on revenue and historical experience. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. While the Company believes that its estimated liability for product warranties is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, the estimated liability for the product warranties could differ materially in the future.

 

Income Taxes

 

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

  

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

Income Taxes - Continued

 

Tax benefits are recognized for an uncertain tax position when, in the Company’s judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. For a tax position that meets the more likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount that is judged to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances and when new information becomes available. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. The effective tax rate includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and subsequent adjustments as considered appropriate by the Company. Interest and penalties recognized on the liability for unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as income tax expense.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Sale of real property

 

Effective June 18, 2019 (the “Jupiter Closing Date”), Florida Pneumatic completed the sale of real property located in Jupiter, Florida in which it conducts its principal operations (the “Jupiter Facility”). The Jupiter Facility was purchased by an unrelated third party for purchase price of $9.2 million. After broker fees and other expenses relating to the sale, the Company received approximately $8.7 million.

Effective as of the Jupiter Closing Date, Florida Pneumatic, entered into a lease with respect to an approximately 42,000 square foot portion of the Jupiter Facility. The lease is for a term of five years, with either party able to terminate after four years. The initial monthly base rent under the lease is $32,345 with annual escalations of 3%. Florida Pneumatic will also be responsible for certain other payments of “additional rent” as set forth in the lease, including certain taxes, assessments and operating expenses. The Company considered the guidance in the current accounting literature relating to the recognition of the gain and determined that the full amount of $7,817,000 should be recognized as of the date of the transaction.

 

Lease Accounting

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The following is a maturity analysis of the annual undiscounted cash flows reconciled to the carrying value of the operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2019:

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses its costs of advertising in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $1,690,000 and $1,375,000, respectively.

 

Earnings Per Common Share

 

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

 

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

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

 

   Years Ended December 31, 
   2019   2018 
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share:          
Net income  $4,911,000   $856,000 
Denominator:          
Denominator for basic income per share—weighted average common shares outstanding   3,207,000    3,628,000 
Denominator for diluted income per share—adjusted weighted average common shares and assumed conversions   3,262,000    3,728,000 

 

The average anti-dilutive options outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were 55,000 and 12,000, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

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

 

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

 

Going concern assessment  

 

In accordance with current accounting literature, the Company assesses going concern uncertainty in its financial statements to determine if it will have sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in the current accounting guidance. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to the Company, it will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, and its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, the Company will make certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent the Company deems probable those implementations can be achieved and it will have the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period. Our assessment determined the Company is a going concern.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous US GAAP. ASC Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases’ guidance. This ASU became effective January 1, 2019. The ASU offers two transition methods: (1) a modified retrospective approach, in which leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity in the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied or (2) a prospective approach, in which a company is allowed to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date. The Company elected the prospective approach. The adoption of this standard had a minimal effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income. However, does require the Company to include on its Consolidate Balance Sheet Right-of-Use assets and related liabilities incurred in connection with certain operating leases, which at December 31, 2019, were $3,859,000 and $3,949,000, respectively.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued No. ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). Under ASU 2018-02, an entity may elect to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

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 our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Not yet Adopted

  

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The ASU is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These transactions include contract modifications, hedging relationships, and sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. Entities may apply the provisions of the new standard as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made (i.e. as early as the first quarter 2020). Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to have completed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has yet to elect an adoption date.

 

NOTE 2—ACQUISITION

 

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

 

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

NOTE 2 —ACQUISITION - Continued

 

Additionally, on the Gears Closing Date, the Company entered into a new five-year lease with the ultimate intention of combining all gear manufacturing operations into one location. The new leased premises, located in Punxsutawney, PA is approximately 42,000 square feet, with annual lease payments of $165,800. The Company has two three-year options to renew the lease. As the result of the Company’s decision to vacate leased space in Punxsutawney, which housed Hy-Tech’s gear operations prior to the Gears Acquisition, it wrote off the fair value of the vacated old lease by a reduction in the Right of Use Assets and leasehold improvements on the Balance Sheet of approximately $99,000 and included a like amount in Selling, general and administrative expenses on its Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income. The Company will continue to make monthly lease payments toward the old vacated lease through February 2021 unless the Company and the landlord agree to other terms.

 

Additionally, the Sellers of the Gear Businesses may be entitled to additional consideration (“contingent consideration”), should the Company sell within a two-year period from the date of acquisition, certain portions of acquired inventories, which had no fair value at the time of the acquisition. Accordingly, the Company, determined that, based upon historical sales history provided or otherwise, the most likely scenario could result in a payment of contingent consideration of approximately $64,000.

 

   Total 
Cash paid at closing  $3,518,000 
Fair value of contingent consideration   64,000 
Total estimated purchase price  $3,582,000 

 

The following table presents purchase price allocation:

 

Accounts receivable  $218,000

Goodwill   284,000 
Total estimated purchase price  $3,582,000 

 

The excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including the value of the identifiable intangible assets, has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill will be amortized over 15 years for tax purposes, but not deductible for financial reporting purposes. The intangible assets subject to amortization will be amortized over 15 years for tax purposes. For financial reporting purposes their respective useful lives have been determined as follows:

 

  Customer relationships 10 years  
  Non-Compete agreements 4 years

NOTE 3—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts.

 

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

NOTE 6—GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.  In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, the Company performed an annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter based on conditions as of November 30, 2019. For both 2019 and 2018, with respect to Florida Pneumatic and Hy-Tech, the Company determined their fair value using the income approach methodology of valuation, which considers the expected present value of future cash flows. As an integral part of the valuation process the Company utilizes its latest cash flows forecasts for the next four fiscal years, and then applies projected minimal growth for all remaining years, based upon available statistical data and management’s estimates.  

 

The result of the Company’s impairment test for Florida Pneumatic and Hy-Tech determined that its fair value exceeded the carrying value and, as such, no impairment to Goodwill and other intangible assets was recorded in 2019.

 

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

 

Balance, January 1, 2019  $4,436,000 
Currency translation adjustment   6,000 
Acquisition of Hy-Tech Illinois   284,000

NOTE 7—DEBT

 

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

  

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

 

The Company provides Capital One with monthly borrowing base certificates, and in certain circumstances, it is required to deliver monthly financial statements and certificates of compliance with various financial covenants. Should an event of default occur the interest rate would increase by 2% per annum during the period of default, in addition to other remedies provided to Capital One.

 

The Company believes that should a need arise whereby the current credit facility is insufficient it can borrow additional amounts against its real property or other assets.

 

At December 31, 2019, its short-term or Revolver borrowing was $5,648,000 compared to $2,096,000 at December 31, 2018. Applicable Margin Rates, at December 31, 2019 and 2018 for LIBOR and Base Rates were 1.50% and 0.50%, respectively. Additionally, at December 31, 2019 and 2018, there was approximately $9,200,000 and $12,024,000, respectively, available to the Company under its Revolver arrangement.

 

The average balance of short-term borrowings during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, were $4,253,000 and $3,113,000, respectively.

  

There was a $100,000 Term Loan that was secured by mortgages on the real property, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. At December 31, 2018 borrowing of this Term Loan was at LIBOR. The Applicable Margin for LIBOR at December 31, 2018 was 1.5%. In June 2019, the Company repaid the principal amount of $100,000.

 

In April 2018, the Company borrowed $400,000 against the Capex line. This borrowing was to be repaid in equal principle installments of approximately $6,700, payable monthly, with the balance due at its Maturity Date as defined in the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2018, the balance due on the Capex loan was $353,000 and was included in Current Liabilities on the Company’s 2018 Consolidated Financial Statement. In June 2019, the Company paid the bank the balance of this Capex loan.

NOTE 8—STOCK OPTIONS – STOCK COMPENSATION

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

The Company’s Previous Plan authorized the issuance to employees and directors of options to purchase a maximum of 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock. These options had to be issued within 10 years of the effective date of the Previous Plan and are exercisable for a 10-year period from the date of grant, at prices not less than 100% of the closing market value of the Common Stock on the date the option is granted. In the event options granted contained a vesting schedule over a period of years, the Company recognized compensation cost for these awards ratably over the service period.

 

On February 28, 2019, the Committee authorized the issuance of options to purchase 8,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. This grant was issued to non-executive employees. All options within this grant have an exercise price of $8.55. The options granted vest as to one third on each of the anniversary dates in 2020, 2021 and 2022. All the options granted have a 10-year life. The volatility is determined using historical volatilities based on historical stock prices.

 

The Company estimated the fair value of its Common Stock options using the following assumptions:

 

   For the years ended 
   December 31, 2019 
     
Risk-free interest rate   2.73%
Expected term   10 years

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost over the requisite service period. However, the exercisability of the respective non-vested options, which are at predetermined dates, does not necessarily correspond to the periods in which straight-line amortization of compensation expenses is recorded. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $55,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards granted under its stock based plans, which it expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 0.8 years.

Restricted Stock

 

The Company, in May 2019, granted 1,250 restricted shares of its Common Stock to each non-employee member of its Board of Directors, totaling 6,250 restricted shares. The Company determined that the fair value of these shares was $8.31 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the grant. These shares cannot be traded earlier than the first anniversary of the grant date.

Treasury Stock

 

On September 12, 2018, subsequent to the expiration of a previous repurchase program adopted in 2017 (the “2017 Repurchase Program”), the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 100,000 additional shares of its Common Stock (the “2018 Repurchase Program”) from time to time over the next 12 months through a 10b5-1 trading plan, and potentially through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On September 14, 2018, the Company announced that, pursuant to the 2018 Repurchase Program, it had adopted a written trading plan in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Repurchases made under the plan, that commenced on September 17, 2018, are subject to the SEC’s regulations, as well as certain price, market, volume, and timing constraints specified in the plan. Since the inception of the 2018 Repurchase Program through December 31, 2018, the Company repurchased 33,398 shares of its Common Stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $272,000. The Company repurchased 66,602 shares of its Common Stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $547,000 during 2019 to complete the 2018 Repurchase Program.

 

In June 2018 and November 2018, the Company purchased 18,140 shares and 85,791 shares of its Common Stock in two separate privately negotiated transactions. These transactions were outside of the 2018 Repurchase Program and the 2017 Repurchase Program, pursuant to additional authorization of the Company’s Board of Directors at a total cost of $150,000 and $698,000, respectively. The June 2018 purchase price per share was equal to 5% below the average of the closing price of its Common Stock for the three days prior to the transaction, with the November 2018 purchase price based on the average closing price over the three days prior to the date of transaction.

 

On February 14, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to repurchase 389,909 shares of its Common Stock from certain funds and accounts advised or sub-advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company or one of its affiliates in a privately negotiated transaction at approximately $7.62 per share for a total purchase price of $2,971,000. The agreed upon purchase price per share of $7.62 was computed as the value equal to 97% of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days ended on February 7, 2019. On February 15, 2019, the Company completed this transaction. On February 14, 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Capital One, which permitted the Company to complete the above transaction.

NOTE 9—DIVIDENDS

 

In 2016, our Board of Directors approved the initiation of a dividend policy under which the Company intends to declare quarterly cash dividends to its stockholders in the amount of $0.05 per quarter. In the months of February, May, August and November of 2019 and 2018, our Board of Directors approved the payment of dividends of $0.05 per common share to the shareholders of record. Accordingly, the Company paid a $0.05 per share dividend to the shareholders of record in each of the aforementioned months. The aggregate of such dividend payments was approximately $632,000 and $723,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

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

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes included, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21%, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017. The Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of US GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Act. During 2018, the Company finalized its computation of the impact of the Act which resulted in a 3.4% reduction in its effective tax rate.

 

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

NOTE 12—SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

On March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. As a result, the Company expects operations at all of its locations to be affected in some capacity, as the COVID-19 virus continues to proliferate and the federal, state and local governments under which we operate continue to adopt new rules. The Company has put in place enhanced procedures at all locations, such as restricting international and domestic travel, adopting a variety of steps designed to ensure social distancing in our facilities, including working remotely where available and modifying our shifts, and increasing our cleaning and sanitizing procedures in our facilities, in an effort to protect its employees while still striving to meet its customers’ needs. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, or the extent to which the disruption may materially impact its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal 2020.

ITEM 9A.Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

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

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its Management, including its CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2019. Management based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework 2013” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Management, including its CEO and CFO concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective at December 31, 2019.

 

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

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

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed quarter ended December 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
