P & F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

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

P & F Industries, Inc. (“P & F”) conducts its business operations through its four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”), Countrywide Hardware, Inc. (“Countrywide”), Green Manufacturing, Inc. (“Green”) and Embassy Industries, Inc. (“Embassy”). P & F and its subsidiaries are herein referred to collectively as the “Company.”

Florida Pneumatic is engaged in the importation, manufacture and sale of pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the industrial and retail markets, and the importation and sale of compressor air filters. Florida Pneumatic also markets, through its Berkley Tool division (“Berkley”), a line of pipe cutting and threading tools, wrenches and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines. Countrywide conducts its business operations through Nationwide Industries, Inc. (“Nationwide”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, and through its Franklin Manufacturing (“Franklin”) division. Countrywide acquired all of the stock of Nationwide on May 3, 2002. The assets of Franklin were transferred from Embassy to Countrywide on December 30, 2002. Nationwide is an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware. Franklin imports a line of door and window hardware. Green is engaged primarily in the manufacture, development and sale of heavy-duty welded custom designed hydraulic cylinders. Green also manufactures a line of access equipment for the petro-chemical industry and a line of post hole digging equipment for the agricultural industry. Embassy is engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard heating products and the importation and sale of radiant heating systems. Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presents financial information for the segments of the Company’s business.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION AND RESTATEMENT

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

7

The consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2002 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The interim financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with that Report.

In preparing its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company had its goodwill tested for impairment, effective January 1, 2002, during the second quarter of 2002. The impairment tests performed required that the Company determine the fair market value of its reporting units for comparison to the carrying value of their net assets to assess whether any impairment exists. The methodologies used to estimate fair market value involved the use of estimates and assumptions, including projected revenues, earnings and cash flows.

The Company’s earnings forecasts for Green, which reflected the extremely weak market conditions in the hydraulic cylinder business, resulted in the fair market value of Green’s goodwill, as determined by an independent third-party appraiser, being lower than its carrying value as of December 31, 2001. Accordingly, in the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded, retroactive to January 1, 2002, an after-tax impairment charge of approximately $3.2 million, which is reported as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle resulting from the adoption by the Company of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

The statement of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 has been retroactively restated. The restatement gives effect to the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, which had previously been reported in the quarter ended June 30, 2002, being reflected as having occurred as of January 1, 2002

8

NOTE 3 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for its stock option awards to its employees under the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company makes pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”).

The Company also complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure,” which requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method on reported results.

SFAS 123 requires the Company to provide pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as if compensation cost for the Company’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan had been determined in accordance with the fair value method prescribed by SFAS 123. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. No options were granted, and no pro forma compensation expense was incurred, during the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002.

NOTE 4 – FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

The Company accounts for changes in the fair value of its foreign currency contracts by marking them to market and recognizing any resulting gains or losses through its statement of operations. The Company also marks its yen-denominated payables to market, recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its statement of operations. At June 30, 2003, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts, maturing in 2003, to purchase yen at contracted forward rates. The value of these contracts at June 30, 2003, based on the contracted forward rates, was approximately $1,363,000, which was the approximate value of the Company’s corresponding yen-denominated accounts payable. During the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded net realized losses of approximately $10,000 and $59,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded net realized losses of approximately $9,000 and $69,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. At June 30, 2003, the Company had no material unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions.

NOTE 5 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, “Recission of FASB Statement No.4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (“SFAS 145”), which eliminates the automatic classification of gain or loss on extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item of income and requires that such gain or loss be evaluated for extraordinary classification under the criteria of Accounting Principles Board No. 30, “Reporting Results of Operations.” The provisions of SFAS 145 related to the recission of Statement 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS 145 as of January 1, 2003. In January 2003, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $84,000, included in selling, general and administrative expenses that resulted from the refinancing of a mortgage.

In June 2002,the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146,“Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS 146”).SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (“EITF 94-3”). The principal difference between SFAS 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to the requirements for recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a liability was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company did not have any exit or disposal activities since the adoption of SFAS 146.

In June 2003,the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149,“Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 149”).SFAS 149 amends SFAS 133 and certain other FASB standards for decisions made by the FASB as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process. Among other changes, SFAS 149 clarifies the definition of a derivative financial instrument. SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The provisions of SFAS 149 that relate to SFAS 133 Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003 should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective dates. In addition, certain provisions of SFAS 149 that apply to forward purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist are applicable to both existing contracts and new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003.

NOTE 6- INVENTORIES

Major classes of inventory were as follows:

	June 30, 2003		December 31, 2002
Raw materials and supplies	$	3,775,620	$	3,566,161

Finished goods	16,662,265		15,259,055
	$	21,299,197	$	19,580,073

NOTE 7 – SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

On June 30, 2003, the Company renewed its credit agreement, as amended, with Citibank through July 26, 2004. This agreement includes a revolving credit loan facility, which provides a total of $12,000,000, with various sublimits, for direct borrowings, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances and equipment loans. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit facility. At June 30, 2003, there was $7,000,000 outstanding against the revolving credit loan facility. There was also a commitment of approximately $116,000 at June 30, 2003 for open letters of credit.

Direct borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit loan facility are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory and equipment and are cross-guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries. These borrowings bear interest at either the prime interest rate or LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate) plus 1.6%. The prime interest rate at June 30, 2003 was 4.0% and LIBOR was approximately 1.1%. The prime interest rate at June 30, 2002 was 4.75% and LIBOR was approximately 1.8%.

The credit agreement also includes a foreign exchange line, which provides for the availability of up to $10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix the exchange rate on future purchases of yen needed for payments to foreign suppliers. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2003, based on the contracted forward rates, was approximately $1,363,000.

Under the terms of the Company’s credit agreement, the Company is required to adhere to certain financial covenants. At June 30, 2003, and for the six months then ended, the Company satisfied all of these covenants. The credit agreement is subject to annual review by the lending bank.

11

The credit agreement also includes a term loan facility, which provides a maximum commitment of $15,000,000 to finance acquisitions subject to the lending bank’s approval. The Company borrowed $11,500,000 against this facility to finance the acquisition of Nationwide, described in Note 1, and there was $5,750,000 outstanding against this facility at June 30, 2003. There was also a standby letter of credit totaling approximately $351,000 outstanding against this facility at June 30, 2003. This standby letter of credit is used to secure the Economic Development Revenue Bond assumed as part of the acquisition of Green.

On January 24, 2003, Embassy refinanced its mortgage, which was payable monthly through May 2006 and bore interest at 8.16%. The new mortgage, which is payable monthly through January 2010, bears interest at LIBOR plus 155 basis points.

Certain of the Company’s mortgage agreements require the Company to adhere to certain financial covenants. At June 30, 2003, and for the six months then ended, the Company satisfied all of these covenants.

NOTE 8 - WARRANTY LIABILITY

The Company offers to its customers warranties against product defects for periods ranging from one year to the life of the product, depending on the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. The Company’s typical warranties require it to repair or replace the defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. At the time the product revenue is recognized, the Company records a liability for estimated costs under its warranties. The costs are estimated based on historical experience. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts necessary. While the Company believes that its estimated liability for product warranties is adequate, the estimated liability for the product warranties could differ materially from future actual warranty costs.

Changes in the Company’s warranty liability, included in other accrued liabilities, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002 were as follows:

	Six months ended June 30,
	2003			2002

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

General

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain of these accounting policies require the Company 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. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory reserves, intangible assets, income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical data and experience, when available, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the combined results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company’s critical accounting policies include:

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenues upon shipment with related risks and title passing to the customers. Estimates of losses for bad debts, returns and other allowances are recorded at the time of the sale.  Shipping charges to customers and related expenses that are included in selling, general and administrative expenses are immaterial.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

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 credit worthiness of any of these customers or in any other matters affecting the collectibility of amounts due from such customers could have a material affect 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.

18

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The inventory balance, which includes 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 income would be significantly affected.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company’s operational policy for the assessment and measurement of any impairment in the value of goodwill and other intangible assets that is other than temporary is to evaluate at least annually, with the help of independent third-party appraisals, the recoverability and remaining life of its goodwill and other intangible assets to determine the fair value of these assets. The methodologies to be used to estimate fair value include the use of estimates and assumptions, including projected revenues, earnings and cash flows. If the fair value of any of these assets is determined to be less than its carrying value, the Company will reflect the impairment of any such asset through a reduction in its carrying value, in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its appraised value.

On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews changes in market conditions, among other factors, that could have a material impact on its estimates of fair value in order to reassess the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets. At June 30, 2003, no adjustment for impairment was deemed necessary.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews certain long-lived assets for impairment. Whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of these assets may not be recoverable, the Company will assess the recoverability of such assets based upon estimated undiscounted cash flow forecasts.

19

Acquisition

On May 3, 2002, Countrywide acquired all of the stock of Nationwide for approximately $10,452,000, plus acquisition costs of approximately $490,000 and working capital adjustments of approximately $260,000. There were additional acquisition-related costs of approximately $364,000 recorded as goodwill. In addition to the cash paid at the closing, Nationwide’s previous owner is entitled to contingent payments of 30% of the excess of Nationwide’s earnings, before amortization of intangible assets, interest and taxes, over $2,500,000, for each of the five twelve-month periods subsequent to the acquisition date, which contingent payments will be treated as additions to goodwill. Countrywide conducts its business through Nationwide and through its Franklin division. The assets of Franklin were transferred from Embassy to Countrywide on December 30, 2002.

Results of Operations

Impairment of goodwill

The Company had its goodwill tested for impairment, effective January 1, 2002, during the second quarter of 2002. The impairment tests performed required that the Company determine the fair market value of its reporting units for comparison to the carrying value of their net assets to assess whether any impairment exists. The methodologies used to estimate fair market value involved the use of estimates and assumptions, including projected revenues, earnings and cash flows.

The Company’s earnings forecasts for Green, which reflected the extremely weak market conditions in the hydraulic cylinder business, resulted in the fair market value of Green’s goodwill, as determined by an independent third-party appraiser, being lower than its carrying value as of December 31, 2001. Accordingly, in the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded, retroactive to January 1, 2002, an after-tax impairment charge of approximately $3.2 million, which is reported as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle resulting from the adoption by the Company of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

The statement of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 has been retroactively restated. The restatement gives effect to the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, which had previously been reported in the quarter ended June 30, 2002, being reflected as having occurred as of January 1, 2002

20

Comparison of three months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002

Consolidated revenues increased 16.5%, from $18,666,396 to $21,738,305. Revenues from pneumatic tools and related equipment increased 12.8%, from $9,691,652 to $10,933,587, due primarily to strong promotions by two major customers and a major promotion at a new automotive after-market retailer, partially offset by price concessions at a significant customer and decreased commission revenues resulting from price and competitive pressures. Selling prices of pneumatic tools and related equipment were unchanged, with the exception of prices to a significant customer, which were substantially reduced early in the fourth quarter of 2002. Revenues from hardware products increased 49.0%, from $3,822,901 to $5,696,536, due primarily to the inclusion of Nationwide for the entire quarter in 2003, as opposed to only two months in 2002. Nationwide’s revenues increased approximately $2,200,000, including an increase of approximately $1,600,000 from sales of fencing products. The increase at Nationwide was partially offset by a decrease in revenues of approximately $330,000 at Franklin, as a significant customer reduced its ordering, because of its decreased volume, in the second quarter of 2003. Selling prices of hardware products were unchanged. Revenues from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment decreased 4.4%, from $3,165,181 to $3,027,296, due primarily to depressed conditions in the access sector, partially offset by increased sales in the refuse market. Selling prices of hydraulic cylinders and other equipment were virtually unchanged. Revenues from heating products increased 4.7%, from $1,986,662 to $2,080,886, due primarily to increased radiant heating sales. Selling prices of heating products were unchanged, with the exception of a modest price increase for baseboard heating products during the second quarter of 2003.

Consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, decreased from 32.9% to 32.8%. Gross profit from pneumatic tools and related equipment decreased from 41.5% to 37.2%, due primarily to the lower-margin promotional sales noted above, the impact of the price concessions effective in the fourth quarter of 2002 also noted above and the strengthening of the yen, partially offset by productivity improvements and cost reductions from suppliers. Gross profit from hardware products increased from 32.6% to 36.8%, due primarily to the inclusion of Nationwide’s higher margin OEM business for the entire quarter in 2003, as opposed to only two months in 2002. Gross profit from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment increased from 9.0% to 10.0%, due primarily to reductions in labor and overhead. Gross profit from heating equipment increased from 29.9% to 32.4%, due primarily to a change in the product mix and improved operating efficiencies.

21

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased 17.3%, from $4,424,727 to $5,188,457, due primarily to increases in advertising and expenses related to promotional sales at Florida Pneumatic and the addition of approximately $200,000 of selling, general and administrative expenses at Nationwide. Also contributing to the overall increase were increased compensation tied to higher profitability and increased expenses related to additional reporting and control requirements. These increases were partially offset by substantial decreases resulting from cost-cutting efforts in all of the segments. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 23.7% to 23.9%.

Interest expense increased 20.3%, from $162,650 to $195,688, due primarily to changes in average borrowings outstanding during the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Average borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit loan facility were higher in 2003 than in 2002. While average borrowings under the Company’s term loan facility, which resulted from the acquisition of Nationwide on May 3, 2002, were lower in 2003 than in 2002, these amounts were outstanding for the entire quarter in 2003, as opposed to only two months in 2002. The overall increase in interest expense was net of decreases resulting from lower interest rates on the Company’s borrowings under both its revolving credit and term loan facilities, as well as on a refinanced mortgage.

The effective tax rates for the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were 42.3% and 38.4%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate resulted from the amortization of intangible assets at Nationwide not being deductible for tax purposes.

22

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002

Consolidated revenues increased 15.3%, from $35,763,115 to $41,220,181. Revenues from pneumatic tools and related equipment increased 8.0%, from $19,700,562 to $21,273,996, due primarily to strong promotions by two major customers and a major promotion at an automotive after-market retailer, partially offset by price concessions at a significant customer, a base volume decrease and decreased commission revenues resulting from price and competitive pressures. Selling prices of pneumatic tools and related equipment were unchanged, with the exception of prices to a significant customer, which were substantially reduced early in the fourth quarter of 2002. Revenues from hardware products increased 88.1%, from $5,287,180 to $9,946,570, due primarily to the inclusion of Nationwide for the entire six months in 2003, as opposed to only two months in 2002. Nationwide’s revenues increased approximately $5,100,000, including an increase of approximately $2,700,000 from sales of fencing products. The increase at Nationwide was partially offset by a decrease in revenues of approximately $450,000 at Franklin, as a significant customer declared bankruptcy in the first quarter of 2003 and another significant customer reduced its ordering, because of its decreased volume, in the second quarter of 2003. Selling prices of hardware products were unchanged. Revenues from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment decreased 9.5%, from $6,508,356 to $5,889,543, due primarily to an approximately 70% decrease in sales to the wrecker market, including the phasing out of a major customer in the first quarter of 2002. Selling prices of hydraulic cylinders and other equipment were virtually unchanged. Revenues from heating products decreased 3.7%, from $4,267,017 to $4,110,072, due primarily to the weakness in baseboard demand in the first quarter of 2003, partially offset by increased radiant heating sales. Selling prices of heating products were unchanged, with the exception of a modest price increase for baseboard heating products during the second quarter of 2003.

Consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, increased from 31.4% to 31.9%. Gross profit from pneumatic tools and related equipment decreased from 39.1% to 37.1%, due primarily to the lower-margin promotional sales noted above, the impact of the price concessions effective in the fourth quarter of 2002 also noted above and the strengthening of the yen, partially offset by productivity improvements and cost reductions from suppliers. Gross profit from hardware products increased from 30.5% to 34.8%, due primarily to the inclusion of Nationwide’s higher margin OEM business for the entire six months in 2003, as opposed to only two months in 2002. Gross

23

profit from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment decreased from 9.1% to 8.7%, due primarily to the decrease in revenues (reflecting the phasing out of a major customer in the first quarter of 2002), which reduced coverage of fixed expenses, partially offset by reductions in labor and overhead in the second quarter. Gross profit from heating equipment increased from 31.1% to 31.2%, due primarily to a change in the product mix and improved operating efficiencies in the second quarter.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased 18.2%, from $8,513,790 to $10,059,282, due primarily to the addition of approximately $640,000 of these expenses at Nationwide, increases in advertising and expenses related to promotional sales at Florida Pneumatic and, to a lesser extent, to increased compensation tied to higher profitability and increases related to additional reporting and control requirements.  These increases were partially offset by substantial decreases resulting from cost-cutting efforts in all of the segments. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 23.8% to 24.4%, due primarily to the increased expenses discussed above.

Interest expense increased 44.9%, from $264,422 to $383,009, due primarily to changes in average borrowings outstanding during the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. Average borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit loan facility were higher in 2003 than in 2002. While average borrowings under the Company’s term loan facility, which resulted from the acquisition of Nationwide on May 3, 2002, were lower in 2003 than in 2002, these amounts were outstanding for the entire six months in 2003, as opposed to only two months in 2002. The overall increase was net of decreases resulting from lower interest rates on the Company’s borrowings under both its revolving credit and term loan facilities, as well as on a refinanced mortgage.

The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 were 42.2% and 38.5%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate resulted from the amortization of intangible assets at Nationwide not being deductible for tax purposes.

24

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

	June 30, 2003		December 31, 2002		June 30, 2002
Working Capital	$	19,422	$	19,908	$	22,010
Current Ratio	2.20 to 1		2.49 to 1		3.02 to 1
Shareholders’ Equity	$	35,176	$	33,823	$	32,401

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, gross accounts receivable increased by approximately $913,000, with increases of approximately $912,000, $150,000 and $36,000 at Countrywide, Green and Embassy, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $185,000 at Florida Pneumatic. The increases at Countrywide and Green were due primarily to increases in sales in the second quarter of 2003 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2002. The increase at Embassy was due primarily to the timing of sales. The decrease at Florida Pneumatic was due primarily to an overall decrease in sales in the second quarter of 2003 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2002, partially offset by extended terms on some retail promotional sales.

Inventories increased by approximately $1,719,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2003, with increases of approximately $1,906,000, $64,000 and $40,000 at Florida Pneumatic, Green and Embassy, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $291,000 at Countrywide. The increase at Florida Pneumatic was due primarily to a decrease in base revenues. The increase at Green was due primarily to the timing of purchases of imported products. The increase at Embassy was due primarily to preparation for the peak heating season. The decrease at Countrywide was due primarily to improved inventory turnover at Nationwide.

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, short-term borrowings increased by $2,500,000, primarily to fund working capital changes and to reduce long-term debt.

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, accounts payable increased by approximately $872,000, with an increase of approximately $978,000 at Florida Pneumatic being partially offset by decreases of approximately $51,000, $35,000 and $20,000 at Countrywide, Embassy and Green, respectively. All of these changes were due primarily to the timing of purchases.

25

On June 30, 2003, the Company renewed its credit agreement, as amended, with Citibank through July 26, 2004. This agreement provides the Company with various credit facilities, including revolving credit loans, term loans for acquisitions and a foreign exchange line. The revolving credit loan facility provides a maximum of $12,000,000, with various sublimits, for direct borrowings, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances and equipment loans. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit facility. At June 30, 2003, there was $7,000,000 outstanding against the revolving credit loan facility. There was also a commitment of approximately $116,000 at June 30, 2003 for open letters of credit.

The term loan facility provides a maximum commitment of $15,000,000 to finance acquisitions subject to the lending bank’s approval. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit facility. The Company borrowed $11,500,000 against this facility to finance the acquisition of Nationwide, described in Note 1, and there was $5,750,000 outstanding against this facility at June 30, 2003. There was also a standby letter of credit totaling approximately $351,000 outstanding against this facility at June 30, 2003. This standby letter of credit was used to secure the Economic Development Revenue Bond assumed as part of the acquisition of Green.

The Company’s credit agreement is subject to annual review by the lending bank. Under this agreement, the Company is required to adhere to certain financial covenants. At June 30, 2003 and for the quarter then ended, the Company satisfied all of these covenants.

Certain of the Company’s mortgage agreements require the Company to adhere to certain financial covenants. At June 30, 2003, and for the six months then ended, the Company satisfied all of these covenants.

Capital spending for the six month ended June 30, 2003 was approximately $646,000, which amounts were provided from working capital. Capital expenditures for the remainder of 2003 are expected to be approximately $540,000, some of which may be financed through the Company’s credit facilities. Included in the expected total for the remainder of 2003 are capital expenditures relating to new products, expansion of existing product lines and replacement of equipment.

Operating activities provided cash totaling approximately $56,000 and $3,036,000 during the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company believes that cash on hand derived from operations and cash available through borrowings under its credit facilities will be sufficient to allow the Company to meet its foreseeable capital needs.

26

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company’s foreign exchange line provides for the availability of up to $10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix the exchange rate on future purchases of yen needed for payments to foreign suppliers. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at June 30, 2003, based on the contracted forward rates, was approximately $1,363,000.

The Company, through Florida Pneumatic, imports a significant amount of its purchases from Japan, with payment due in yen. As a result, the Company is subject to the effects of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The Company uses a variety of techniques to protect itself from any adverse effects from these fluctuations, including increasing its selling prices, obtaining price reductions from its overseas suppliers, using alternative supplier sources and entering into foreign currency forward contracts. The increase in the strength of the yen versus the U.S. dollar over the last 12 months had a negative effect on the Company’s results of operations and its financial position. There can be no assurance as to the future trend of this value. See “Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.”

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, “Recission of FASB Statement No.4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (“SFAS 145”), which eliminates the automatic classification of gain or loss on extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item of income and requires that such gain or loss be evaluated for extraordinary classification under the criteria of Accounting Principles Board No. 30, “Reporting Results of Operations.” The provisions of SFAS 145 related to the recission of Statement 4 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS 145 as of January 1, 2003. In January 2003, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $84,000, included in selling, general and administrative expenses, that resulted from the refinancing of a mortgage.

27

In June 2002,the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146,“Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS 146”).SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)” (“EITF 94-3”). The principal difference between SFAS 146 and EITF 94-3 relates to the requirements for recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF 94-3, a liability was recognized at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company did not have any exit or disposal activities since the adoption of SFAS 146.

In June 2003,the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149,“Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 149”).SFAS 149 amends SFAS 133 and certain other FASB standards for decisions made by the FASB as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process. Among other changes, SFAS 149 clarifies the definition of a derivative financial instrument. SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The provisions of SFAS 149 that relate to SFAS 133 Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003 should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective dates. In addition, certain provisions of SFAS 149 that apply to forward purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist are applicable to both existing contracts and new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risks, which include changes in international exchange rates and the prices of certain commodities.  The Company attempts to reduce the risks related to foreign currency fluctuation by utilizing financial instruments, pursuant to Company policy.

The value of the U.S. dollar affects the Company’s results.  Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect the Company’s gross margins and operating expenses. The Company engages in hedging programs aimed at limiting, in part, the impact of currency fluctuations. Using primarily forward exchange contracts, the Company hedges some of those transactions that, when remeasured according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, impact the statement of operations. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of the Company’s programs include volatility of the currency markets and availability of hedging instruments. All currency transactions that are entered into by the Company are components of hedging programs and are entered into not for speculation but for the sole purpose of hedging an existing or anticipated currency exposure. The Company does not buy or sell financial instruments for trading purposes. Although the Company maintains these programs to reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, when the U.S. dollar sustains a weakening exchange rate against currencies in which the Company incurs costs, the Company’s costs are adversely affected. The Company has various debt instruments that bear interest at variable rates tied to LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate). Any increase in LIBOR would have an adverse effect on the Company’s interest costs.

The Company accounts for changes in the fair value of its foreign currency contracts by marking them to market and recognizing any resulting gains or losses through its statement of operations. The Company also marks its yen-denominated payables to market, recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its statement of operations. At June 30, 2003, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts, maturing in 2003, to purchase yen at contracted forward rates. The value of these contracts at June 30, 2003, based on the contracted forward rates, was approximately $1,363,000, which was the approximate value of the Company’s yen-denominated accounts payable. During the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded net realized losses of approximately $10,000 and $59,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recorded net realized losses of approximately $9,000 and $69,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. At June 30, 2003, the Company had no material unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions.

The potential loss in value of the Company’s net investment in foreign currency forward contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in foreign exchange rates at June 30, 2003 was approximately $150,000.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

An evaluation was performed, under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d- 15(e) to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 (the “Report”), in timely alerting them to all material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries that is required to be included in this Report.
