P&F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

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

P&F conducts its business operations through three of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”), Continental Tool Group, Inc. (“Continental”) and Countrywide Hardware, Inc. (“Countrywide”). P&F and its subsidiaries are herein referred to collectively as the “Company.” In addition, the words “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Company.

Florida Pneumatic is engaged in the importation, manufacture and sale of pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the industrial, retail and automotive markets, and the importation and sale of compressor air filters. Florida Pneumatic also markets, through its Berkley Tool division (“Berkley”), a line of pipe cutting and threading tools, wrenches and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines. In addition, through its Franklin Manufacturing (“Franklin”) division, Florida Pneumatic imports a line of door and window hardware. Countrywide conducts its business operations through Nationwide Industries, Inc. (“Nationwide”) and through Woodmark International, L.P. (“Woodmark”), a limited partnership between Countrywide and WILP Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of P&F. Nationwide is an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware. Woodmark is an importer of builders’ hardware, including staircase components and kitchen and bath hardware and accessories. Through its Pacific Stair Products, Inc. (“Pacific Stair”) unit, Countrywide also manufactures premium stair rail products and distributes Woodmark’s staircase components to the building industry, primarily in southern California and the southwestern region of the United States. In February 2007, Hy-Tech Machine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Hy-Tech”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Continental, acquired substantially all of the operating assets of Hy-Tech Machine, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, and Quality Gear & Machine, Inc. and certain real property from HTM Associates. Hy-Tech is primarily engaged in the manufacture and distribution of pneumatic tools and parts for industrial applications.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Embassy Industries, Inc. (“Embassy”), was engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard heating products and the importation and sale of radiant heating systems until it exited that business in October 2005 through the sale of substantially all of its non-real estate assets. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Manufacturing, Inc. (“Green”), was primarily engaged in the manufacture, development and sale of heavy-duty welded custom designed hydraulic cylinders, a line of access equipment for the petro-chemical industry and a line of post hole digging equipment for the agricultural industry until it exited those businesses between December 2004 and  July 2005. The assets and liabilities and results of operations of Embassy and Green have been segregated and reported separately as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Note 12 to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements presents financial information for the segments of the Company’s business.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 condensed financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

The results of operations for Embassy and Green have been segregated from continuing operations and are reflected on the consolidated condensed statements of earnings as discontinued operations.

The unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet information as of December 31, 2006 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The interim financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with that Report.

In preparing its unaudited consolidated condensed 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. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets. 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 could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation, or FIN, No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accountant Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company files a consolidated Federal tax return. P&F Industries, Inc. and each of its subsidiaries file separate state and local tax returns.

In 2007, the Internal Revenue Service completed its examination of the Company’s Federal tax returns for the years 2003 and 2004 and issued a Revenue Agent’s Report that reported no change to the returns as filed. All examinations of tax years prior to 2003 have been previously completed.

9




In addition, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries file tax returns in the states of New York and Florida that are currently under audit for years ranging from 2001 through 2005. At December 31, 2006, the Company had recorded approximately $395,000 in tax liabilities related to an uncertain income tax position resulting from the pending state audit by Florida. The Company does not expect that the completion of these audits would result in any additional assessment that would have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had accrued interest of approximately $165,000 as of December 31, 2006. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, there were no significant changes to the amounts recorded as of December 31, 2006.

In June 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) on Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)”, (“ EITF 06-3”). EITF 06-3 includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes. EITF 06-3 concludes that the presentation of taxes on either a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a net (excluded from revenues) basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented if those amounts are significant. The provisions of EITF 06-3 are to be applied to financial reports for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements at December 31, 2006 have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

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

NOTE 3 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based Compensation

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“Statement 123(R)”), which revises FASB SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. Statement 123(R) requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of our stock-based compensation awards, including employee stock options.

As a result of adopting Statement 123(R), the Company’s net earnings for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were approximately $6,000 and nil lower, respectively, than if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. Compensation expense is recognized in the general and administrative expenses line item of the Company’s statements of earnings on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. There are no capitalized stock-based compensation costs at March 31, 2007 and 2006. The adoption of Statement 123(R) had no material impact on our basic and dilutive earnings per common share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Stock Option Plan

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

The following is a summary of the changes in outstanding options for the three months ended March 31, 2007:

The Company recognizes compensation cost over the requisite service period. However, the exercisability of the respective non-vested options, which are at pre-determined dates on a calendar year, do not necessarily correspond to the period(s) in which straight-line amortization of compensation cost is recorded.

12




Other Information

As of March 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $24,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards granted under our share-based plans, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

The Company received cash from options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2007 of approximately $49,000. The impact of these cash receipts is included in financing activities in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of cash flows. Statement 123(R) requires that cash flows from tax benefits attributable to tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) be classified as financing cash flows.

The number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for stock options available for issuance under the Current Plan as of March 31, 2007 was 683,400. Of the options outstanding at March 31, 2007, 348,100 were issued under the Current Plan and 196,500 were issued under the Prior Plan.

NOTE 4 - FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivatives to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies, principally Japanese yen. Derivative products, specifically foreign currency forward contracts, are used to hedge the foreign currency market exposures underlying certain debt and forecasted transactions with foreign vendors. The Company does not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedge item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the current period. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (i.e., hedging the exposure of variability in the expected future cash flows that would be attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated comprehensive loss (a component of shareholders’ equity) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion and any portion of the derivative instrument excluded from the assessment of effectiveness), is recognized in earnings in the current period. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair market values are recognized in earnings as a component of cost of sales. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, all of the Company’s derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments.

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 earnings. The Company also marks its yen-denominated payables to market, recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its statement of earnings. At March 31, 2007, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts, maturing in 2007, to purchase Japanese yen at contracted forward rates. The value of these contracts at March 31, 2007, based on that day’s closing spot rate, was approximately $319,000, which was the approximate value of the Company’s yen-denominated accounts payable. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded in its cost of sales realized gains of approximately $22,000 and $10,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no unrealized gains or losses in foreign currency transactions.

NOTE 5 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of SFAS No. 140.” SFAS No. 156 requires the recognition of a servicing asset or liability each time a company undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset in certain situations. It requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practical. SFAS No. 156 was effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year that began after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of SFAS No. 133 and 140.” SFAS No. 155 allows companies to elect to measure at fair value entire financial instruments containing embedded derivatives that would otherwise have to be accounted for separately. It also requires companies to identify interests in securitized financial assets that are freestanding derivatives or contain embedded derivatives that would have to be accounted for separately, clarifies which interest- and principal-only strips are subject to SFAS No. 133, and amends SFAS No. 140 to revise the conditions of a qualifying special purpose entity due to the new requirement to identify whether interests in securitized financial assets are freestanding derivatives or contain embedded derivatives. SFAS No. 155 was effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued or subject to a remeasurement event after the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year that began after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides a new single authoritative definition of fair value and provides enhanced guidance for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and requires additional disclosures related to the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 is effective for us as of January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 157 may have on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 6ACQUISITION

Hy-Tech Machine, Inc.

On February 14, 2007, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Hy-Tech APA”) effective as of February 12, 2007, Hy-Tech, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Continental, acquired substantially all of the assets (the “Hy-Tech Purchased Property”) of Hy-Tech Machine, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, and Quality Gear & Machine, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (collectively, the “Hy-Tech Sellers”). The purchase price consisted of $16,900,000 in cash, subject to adjustments, plus the assumption of certain payables and liabilities and the obligation to make certain contingent payments based on factors described in the Hy-Tech APA. The purchase price was negotiated on the basis of the Hy-Tech Sellers’ historical financial performance. The Hy-Tech Purchased Property was used by the Hy-Tech Sellers in the business of, among other things, manufacturing and selling pneumatic tools and other tool products.

14




In connection with this acquisition, Hy-Tech contemporaneously entered into an Agreement of Sale with HTM Associates, a Pennsylvania general partnership comprised of certain shareholders of the Hy-Tech Sellers (“HTM”), pursuant to which Hy-Tech purchased certain real property located in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania from HTM for $2,200,000 in cash. The acquisition of the Hy-Tech Purchased Property and the real property was financed through the Company’s senior credit facility.

The Company also agreed to make additional payments (“Contingent Consideration”) to the Sellers. The amount of Contingent Consideration is to be based on a percentage of the average increase in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) over a two-year period from the date of acquisition, over a base year EBITDA of $4,473,000. In addition, the Company has agreed to make a further additional payment (“Additional Contingent Consideration”), subject to certain conditions related to an exclusive supply agreement with a major customer and, to a certain extent and subject to certain provisions, the achievement of Contingent Consideration. This Additional Contingent consideration may not exceed $1,900,000. Any such additional payments for Contingent Consideration or Additional Contingent Consideration, if any, would be payable on or about ninety days subsequent to the second anniversary of the acquisition date and will be treated by the Company as additions to goodwill.

Contemporaneously with this acquisition, the Company executed and delivered Amendment No. 7 to Credit Agreement with Citibank and another bank. The amendment, among other things, added Continental and Hy-Tech as additional co-borrowers and provides for new term loans in amounts not to exceed $19,000,000. The principal on the new term loan notes are payable in 25 consecutive quarterly installments of $760,000, commencing on January 31, 2008. From the date of the amendment through January 31, 2008, monthly payments shall be made of interest only. The Company and the co-borrowers have the option to pay interest at a rate based on either the fluctuating prime rate, LIBOR or a combination of the two rates. The new term loan notes shall mature on January 31, 2014. The amendment also provided for the amendment and restatement of certain existing term loan notes. The revolving credit loan facility provides for a maximum of $18,000,000, with various sublimits, for direct borrowings, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances and equipment loans.

The Company obtained a preliminary valuation of the identifiable intangible assets through an independent third-party and may be subject to change. 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, for fifteen years, for tax purposes but not for financial reporting purposes. The fair values and estimated lives of the identifiable intangible assets are based on current information and are subject to change. The intangible assets subject to amortization will be amortized over fifteen years for tax purposes. For financial reporting purposes, useful lives have been assigned as follows:

NOTE 7 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Embassy Industries, Inc.

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Embassy APA”), dated as of October 11, 2005, among P&F, Embassy, Mestek, Inc. (“Mestek”) and Embassy Manufacturing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mestek (“EMI”), Embassy sold substantially all of its operating assets to EMI. The assets sold pursuant to the Embassy APA include, among others, machinery and equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and certain intangibles. Certain assets were retained by Embassy, including, but not limited to, cash and title to any real property owned by Embassy at the consummation of the sale to EMI. Embassy has effectively ceased all operating activities.

On July 24, 2006, Embassy received a letter (the “Purchaser Letter”) from counsel to J. D’Addario & Company, Inc., a New York corporation (“Purchaser”), purporting to terminate that certain contract entered into by Embassy and Purchaser on January 13, 2006 (the “Agreement”, and as amended, the “Contract of Sale”). Pursuant to the Contract of Sale, Embassy agreed to sell its Farmingdale, New York premises (the “Farmingdale Premises”) to Purchaser for a purchase price of $6,403,000.

The Purchaser Letter purports to terminate the Contract of Sale based upon Purchaser’s assertion that Embassy had not satisfied certain requirements and demands that the escrow agent return the downpayment with accrued interest, and that Purchaser be reimbursed for the costs of survey and title examination.

Embassy informed Purchaser that its purported termination of the Contract of Sale was in default of its obligation to consummate the purchase of the Farmingdale Premises under the terms of the Contract of Sale. On August 2, 2006, Purchaser instituted an action against Embassy in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk, for breach of contract and return of downpayment, seeking $650,000, together with costs of title and survey and interest thereon, and the cost of the action. Embassy believes the action is without merit and intends to vigorously defend it.

Embassy has entered into a new contract of sale, dated as of February 26, 2007, on the Farmingdale Premises with Tell Realty LLC, an affiliated entity of Sam Tell & Son, Inc., for a purchase price of $6,300,000. The contract is expected to close in the latter part of the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2007. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this sale to satisfy an existing mortgage on the building of approximately $1.2 million and to reduce its other debt. The Company expects to report a pre-tax gain from the sale of the building of approximately $5.0 million.

The following amounts related to discontinued operations have been segregated from the Company’s continuing operations and are reported as assets held for sale and assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated condensed balance sheets:

NOTE 11 - WARRANTY LIABILITY

The Company offers to its customers warranties against product defects for periods primarily ranging from one to three years, with certain faucet hardware having a limited lifetime warranty, 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, which costs are estimated based on historical experience. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amounts as necessary. While the Company believes that its estimated liability for product warranties is adequate, 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, were as follows:

NOTE 12 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company has organized its business into two reportable business segments: Tools and other products, and Hardware. The Company is organized around these two distinct product segments, each of which has very different end users. For reporting purposes, Florida Pneumatic and Hy-Tech are combined in the “Tools and other products” segment, while Woodmark, Pacific Stair and Nationwide are combined in the “Hardware” segment. Results for Hy-Tech have been included since its respective acquisition date. The Company evaluates segment performance based primarily on segment operating income. The accounting policies of each of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1.

The following presents financial information by segment for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Segment operating income excludes general corporate expenses, interest expense and income taxes. Identifiable assets are those assets directly owned or utilized by the particular business segment.

P&F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

General

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of P&F Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries. 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 and in its reports to stockholders. Generally, the inclusion of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” and their opposites and similar expressions identify statements that constitute “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 and that are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. 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. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties could cause the Company’s actual results for the 2007 fiscal year and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company for a number of reasons, as previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 in response to Item 1A. to Part I of Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Business

P&F conducts its business operations through three of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”), Continental Tool Group, Inc. (“Continental”) and Countrywide Hardware, Inc. (“Countrywide”). P&F and its subsidiaries are herein referred to collectively as the “Company.” In addition, the words “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Company.

Florida Pneumatic is engaged in the importation, manufacture and sale of pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the industrial, retail and automotive markets, and the importation and sale of compressor air filters. Florida Pneumatic also markets, through its Berkley Tool division (“Berkley”), a line of pipe cutting and threading tools, wrenches and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brand of pipe cutting and threading machines. In addition, through its Franklin Manufacturing (“Franklin”) division, Florida Pneumatic imports a line of door and window hardware. Countrywide conducts its business operations through Nationwide Industries, Inc. (“Nationwide”) and through Woodmark International, L.P. (“Woodmark”), a limited partnership between Countrywide and WILP Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of P&F. Nationwide is an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware. Woodmark is an importer of builders’ hardware, including staircase components and kitchen and bath hardware and accessories. Through its Pacific Stair Products, Inc. (“Pacific Stair”) unit, Countrywide also manufactures premium stair rail products and distributes Woodmark’s staircase components to the building industry, primarily in southern California and the southwestern region of the United States. In February 2007, Hy-Tech Machine, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Hy-Tech”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Continental, acquired substantially all of the operating assets of Hy-Tech Machine, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, and Quality Gear & Machine, Inc. and certain real property from HTM Associates. Hy-Tech is primarily

21




engaged in the manufacture and distribution of pneumatic tools and parts for industrial applications.

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Embassy Industries, Inc. (“Embassy”), was engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard heating products and the importation and sale of radiant heating systems until it exited that business in October 2005 through the sale of substantially all of its non-real estate assets. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Manufacturing, Inc. (“Green”), was primarily engaged in the manufacture, development and sale of heavy-duty welded custom designed hydraulic cylinders, a line of access equipment for the petro-chemical industry and a line of post hole digging equipment for the agricultural industry until it exited those businesses between December 2004 and July 2005. The assets and liabilities and results of operations of Embassy and Green have been segregated and reported separately as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Overview

Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 decreased $1,891,000, or 7.0%, from $26,850,000 to $24,959,000. Revenues decreased approximately $4,041,000, or 23.2%, at Countrywide, which includes revenues at Woodmark, Pacific Stair and Nationwide. Woodmark had first quarter revenues of $8,516,000, decreasing $2,461,000. Pacific Stair reported first quarter revenues of $939,000, decreasing $727,000. Nationwide reported revenues of $3,891,000, decreasing $851,000. Revenues at Florida Pneumatic for the first quarter were essentially flat at $9,435,000. Hy-Tech reported revenues of $2,178,000 since the Company’s acquisition of certain assets effective February 12, 2007. Consolidated gross profit decreased $499,000, or 6.1%, for the first quarter primarily due to the decrease in revenues. Consolidated earnings from continuing operations decreased $725,000, or 83.2%, from $872,000 to $147,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

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, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets and warranty reserves. 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.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates from those discussed in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

ACQUISITION

Results of operations are included in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements from the date of acquisition.

Hy-Tech Machine, Inc.

On February 14, 2007, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Hy-Tech APA”) effective as of February 12, 2007, Hy-Tech acquired substantially all of the assets (the “Hy-Tech Purchased Property”) of Hy-Tech Machine, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, and Quality Gear & Machine, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (collectively, the “Hy-Tech Sellers”). The purchase price consisted of $16,900,000 in cash, subject to adjustments, plus the assumption of certain payables and liabilities and the obligation to make certain contingent payments based on factors described in the Hy-Tech APA. The purchase price was negotiated on the basis of the Hy-Tech Sellers historical financial performance. The Hy-Tech Purchased Property was used by the Hy-Tech Sellers in the business of, among other things, manufacturing and selling pneumatic tools and other tool products.

In connection with this acquisition, Hy-Tech contemporaneously entered into an Agreement of Sale with HTM Associates, a Pennsylvania general partnership comprised of certain shareholders of the Hy-Tech Sellers (“HTM”), pursuant to which Hy-Tech purchased certain real property located in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania from HTM for $2,200,000 in cash. The acquisition of the Hy-Tech Purchased Property and the real property was financed through the Company’s senior credit facility.

Contemporaneously with this acquisition, the Company executed and delivered Amendment No. 7 to Credit Agreement with Citibank and another bank. The amendment, among other things, adds Continental and Hy-Tech as additional co-borrowers and provides for new term loans in amounts not to exceed $19,000,000. The principal on the new term loan notes are payable in 25 consecutive quarterly installments of $760,000, commencing on January 31, 2008. From the date of the amendment through January 31, 2008, monthly payments shall be made of interest only. The Company and the co-borrowers have the option to pay interest at a rate based on either the fluctuating prime rate, LIBOR or a combination of the two rates. The new term loan notes shall mature on January 31, 2014. The amendment also provides for the amendment and restatement of certain existing term loan notes. The revolving credit loan facility provides for a maximum of $18,000,000, with various sublimits, for direct borrowings, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances and equipment loans.

23




The following table summarizes, on an unaudited pro forma basis, the combined results of operations of the Company and Hy-Tech as though the acquisition transaction had occurred as of January 1, 2006. The pro forma amounts give effect to appropriate adjustments for amortization of intangible assets, interest expense and income taxes. The pro forma amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated operating results had the acquisition transaction occurred as of January 1, 2006 or of future consolidated operating results.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Embassy Industries, Inc.

Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Embassy APA”), dated as of October 11, 2005, among P&F, Embassy, Mestek, Inc. (“Mestek”) and Embassy Manufacturing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mestek (“EMI”), Embassy sold substantially all of its operating assets to EMI. The assets sold pursuant to the Embassy APA include, among others, machinery and equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and certain intangibles. Certain assets were retained by Embassy, including, but not limited to, cash and title to any real property owned by Embassy at the consummation of the sale to EMI. Embassy has effectively ceased all operating activities.

On July 24, 2006, Embassy received a letter (the “Purchaser Letter”) from counsel to J. D’Addario & Company, Inc., a New York corporation (“Purchaser”), purporting to terminate that certain contract entered into by Embassy and Purchaser on January 13, 2006 (the “Agreement”, and as amended, the “Contract of Sale”). Pursuant to the Contract of Sale, Embassy agreed to sell its Farmingdale, New York premises (the “Farmingdale Premises”) to Purchaser for a purchase price of $6,403,000.

The Purchaser Letter purports to terminate the Contract of Sale based upon Purchaser’s assertion that Embassy had not satisfied certain requirements and demands that the escrow agent return the downpayment with accrued interest, and that Purchaser be reimbursed for the costs of survey and title examination.

Embassy informed Purchaser that it’s purported termination of the Contract of Sale was in default of its obligation to consummate the purchase of the Farmingdale Premises under the terms of the Contract of Sale. On August 2, 2006, Purchaser instituted an action against Embassy in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk, for breach of contract and return of downpayment, seeking $650,000, together with costs of title and survey and interest thereon, and the cost of the action. Embassy believes the action is without merit and intends to vigorously defend it.

24




Embassy has entered into a new contract of sale, dated as of February 26, 2007, on the Farmingdale Premises with Tell Realty LLC, an affiliated entity of Sam Tell & Son, Inc., for a purchase price of $6,300,000. The contract is expected to close in the latter part of the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2007. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this sale to satisfy an existing mortgage on the building of approximately $1.2 million and to reduce its other debt. The Company expects to report a pre-tax gain from the sale of the building of approximately $5.0 million.

The following amounts related to discontinued operations have been segregated from the Company’s continuing operations and are reported as assets held for sale and assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated condensed balance sheets:

Revenues from hardware decreased at each of our units in this group primarily due to softness in the new home construction market that is a principal driver for this group. Woodmark’s revenues decreased $2,461,000, or 22.4%. Revenues from the sale of staircase components decreased in the first quarter by approximately $1,682,000, or 19.5%, due primarily to softness in the new home construction market. Further, revenues in our kitchen and bath products sold into the mobile home and remodeling markets have decreased approximately $779,000, or 32.9%, as sales to two significant customers, one of which serves the manufactured housing market, have been adversely impacted by market conditions. Nationwide’s revenues decreased by approximately $851,000, or 17.9%, primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $194,000 in sales of fencing products due to market weakness and competition, a decrease of approximately $194,000 in OEM products from market weakness and the timing of certain customer orders and a decrease of approximately $463,000 in sales of patio products due primarily to market weakness and an uneventful hurricane season. Pacific Stair’s revenues decreased by approximately $727,000, or 43.7%, primarily attributable to significant softness in the new home construction market in the southern California region.

Revenues from tools and other products include revenues from the newly-acquired Hy-Tech in this quarter of approximately $2.2 million. Revenues from Florida Pneumatic were essentially flat. Retail revenues increased by approximately $253,000 due primarily to new products shipped of approximately $954,000, an increase in base sales to a significant customer of approximately $203,000, an increase in certain promotional revenues of approximately $224,000, partially offset by a decrease in base sales of approximately $1.1 million from another significant customer. Other revenue increases of approximately $70,000 at our Franklin division were partially offset by decreases in revenue of approximately $140,000 in our catalog business, decreases of approximately $82,000 in our Berkley division, decreases of approximately $97,000 in OEM products and decreases of approximately $62,000 in our automotive business.

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

%

%

 

The increase in the gross profit percentage from hardware was due primarily to a favorable product mix in its Kitchen and Bath division due to selling price increases and the effect of lower sales to a significant, but low-margin, customer. These gross margin percentage increases were partially offset by (a) selling price reductions at Nationwide due to competitive pressures and market softness, as well as some cost increases from Asian suppliers that were not fully offset by overall selling price increases, (b) the adverse impact from fixed overhead expenses resulting from lower production and revenue decreases at Pacific Stair, and (c) competitive pricing pressures on stair products in several markets served by Woodmark. The decrease in the gross profit percentage from tools and other products was due primarily to a decrease in gross profit margin at Florida Pneumatic as a result of certain price reductions to a significant retail customer and material cost increases of various metals purchased by the Franklin division. This margin decrease was partially offset by certain price increases implemented in the industrial and automotive businesses. In addition, this segment’s gross profit margin was favorably impacted by the newly-acquired Hy-Tech, which operates in the industrial tool business at higher margins than Florida Pneumatic’s business.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $554,000, or 8.8%, from approximately $6,299,000 to approximately $6,853,000. SG&A expenses include expenses of newly-acquired Hy-Tech in the current period of approximately $438,000. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 23.5% to 27.5% primarily due to the decrease in sales. SG&A expense growth was also driven by other factors, including increased retail market support costs, increased net freight costs as the Company is absorbing a greater percentage of customer shipping charges, and the mix of commissionable sales versus non-commissionable sales.

Interest - Net

Net interest expense increased $160,000, or 32.5%, from approximately $492,000 to approximately $652,000. Interest expense on borrowings under the term loan facility increased by approximately $136,000 due to additional borrowings related to the acquisition of Hy-Tech. Interest expense on borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit loan facility increased by approximately $31,000, as higher average borrowings were further adversely affected by higher average interest rates.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rates applicable to earnings from continuing operations for the quarters ended

27




March 31, 2007 and 2006 were 39.5% and 40.1%, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s cash flows from operations can be somewhat cyclical, typically with the greatest demand in the second and third quarters followed by positive cash flows in the fourth quarter as receivables and inventories trend down. Due to its strong asset base, predictable cash flows and favorable banking relationships, the Company believes it has adequate access to capital, if and when needed. The Company monitors average days sales outstanding, inventory turns and capital expenditures to project liquidity needs and evaluate return on assets employed.

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

The amount of these payments, which would be made as of either June 30, 2007 or June 30, 2009, are to be based on increases in earnings before interest and taxes, for the year ended on the respective date, over a base of $5,100,000. Woodmark has the option to make a payment as of June 30, 2007 in an amount equal to 48% of this increase. If Woodmark does not make this payment as of June 30, 2007, the Sellers may demand payment as of June 30, 2009 in an amount equal to 40% of the increase. Any such additional payments will be treated as additions to goodwill.

On June 30, 2004, in conjunction with the Woodmark acquisition transaction, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Citibank and another bank. This agreement, as amended from time to time, provided the Company with various credit facilities, including revolving credit loans, term loans for acquisitions and a foreign exchange line. The term loan facility provided a maximum commitment of $34,000,000 to finance acquisitions subject to the approval of the lending banks. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit facility. The Company borrowed $29,000,000 against this facility to finance the Woodmark acquisition transaction in June 2004, and there was $13,600,000, including amounts rolled over from the prior term loan facility, outstanding against the term loan facility at December 31, 2007.

Contemporaneously with the acquisition of Hy-Tech in February 2007, the Company executed and delivered Amendment No. 7 to Credit Agreement with Citibank and another bank. The amendment, among other things, added Continental Tool Group, Inc. and Hy-Tech Machine, Inc. as additional co-borrowers and provides for new term loans in amounts not to exceed $19,000,000. The principal on the new term loan notes are payable in 25 consecutive quarterly installments of $760,000, commencing on January 31, 2008. From the date of the amendment through January 31, 2008, monthly payments shall be made of interest only. The Company and the co-borrowers have the option to pay interest at a rate based on either the fluctuating prime rate, LIBOR or a combination of the two rates. The new term loan notes shall mature on January 31, 2014. The amendment also provides for the amendment and restatement of certain existing term loan notes. The revolving credit loan facility provides for a maximum of $18,000,000, with various sublimits, for direct borrowings, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances and equipment loans.

In connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Hy-Tech in February 2007, the Company has recorded a liability at March 31, 2007 of approximately $796,000 representing the estimated adjustment to the purchase price pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement that is expected to be payable in the second quarter of 2007.

At March 31, 2007, there was $8,500,000 outstanding against the revolving credit loan facility, and there were no open letters of credit.

The 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 Japanese yen needed for payments to foreign suppliers. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding under the foreign exchange line at March 31, 2007, based on that day’s closing spot rate, was approximately $319,000.

Under the terms of the Company’s credit agreement, the Company is required to adhere to certain financial covenants. Management was in full compliance with the financial covenants of the credit agreement, as amended in February 2007, on March 31, 2007. The revolving credit loan facility under the credit agreement expires in June 2007 and is subject to annual review by the lending banks.

In connection with the sale of certain assets of Embassy in October 2005, the Company recorded a receivable of approximately $1,233,000, comprised of a working capital adjustment of approximately $433,000 and approximately $800,000 of escrow monies due, subject to certain conditions of release. In January 2006, the Company received approximately $833,000 in cash relating to the working capital adjustment and a partial release of escrow monies. The balance of the escrow monies due are expected to be paid to the Company in June 2007.

Embassy participated in a multi-employer pension plan until it sold substantially all of its operating assets in October 2005. This plan provided defined benefits to all of its union workers. Contributions to this plan were determined by the union contract. The Company does not administer the plan funds and does not have any control over the plan funds. As a result of Embassy’s withdrawal from the plan, it has estimated and recorded a withdrawal liability of approximately $279,000, which is payable in quarterly installments of approximately $8,200 from May 2006 through February 2026.

Embassy has entered into a contract of sale, dated as of February 26, 2007, on the Farmingdale Premises with Tell Realty LLC, an affiliated entity of Sam Tell & Son, Inc., for a purchase price of $6,300,000. The contract is expected to close in the latter part of the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2007. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this sale to satisfy an existing mortgage on the building of approximately $1.2 million and to reduce its other debt. The Company expects to report a pre-tax gain from the sale of the building of approximately $5.0 million.

Cash decreased $537,000 from $1,340,000 as of December 31, 2006 to $803,000, as of March 31, 2007. The Company’s debt levels increased from $19,619,000 at December 31, 2006 to $37,606,000 at March 31, 2007, due primarily to borrowings in connection with the acquisition of Hy-Tech. The Company’s total percent of debt to total book capitalization (debt plus equity) increased from 30.5% at December 31, 2006 to 47.1% at March 31, 2007.

Cash (used in) provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the three months periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $(3,137,000) and $2,435,000, respectively. The Company believes that cash on hand derived from operations and cash available through borrowings

29




under its credit facilities will be sufficient to allow the Company to meet its foreseeable working capital needs.

Capital spending was approximately $207,000 and $501,000 for the three months periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which amounts were provided from working capital. Capital expenditures for the balance of 2007 are expected to be approximately $1,100,000, some of which may be financed through the Company’s credit facilities. Included in the expected total for 2007 are capital expenditures relating to new products, expansion of existing product lines and replacement of equipment.

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 foreign currencies needed for payments to foreign suppliers. The Company has not purchased forward contracts on New Taiwan dollars. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at March 31, 2007, based on that day’s closing spot rate, was approximately $319,000.

The Company, through Florida Pneumatic, imports 16% of its purchases from Japan, with payment due in Japanese 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 decrease in the strength of the Japanese yen and TWD versus the U.S. dollar from 2005 to 2006 had a positive effect on the Company’s results of operations and its financial position. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the relative values of the U.S dollar in relation to the Japanese yen, and to a lesser extent the TWD, were above fiscal 2006 averages. There can be no assurance as to the future trend of this value. (See “Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”)

P&F INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 3.                Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risks, which include changes in U.S. and international exchange rates, the prices of certain commodities and currency rates as measured against the U.S. dollar and each other. 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 financial results. Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect the Company’s gross margins through its inventory purchases and operating expenses through realized foreign exchange gains or losses. 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 contracts 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 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 earnings. The Company also marks its yen-denominated payables to market, recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its statement of earnings. At March 31, 2007, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts, maturing in 2007, to purchase Japanese yen at contracted forward rates. The value of these contracts at March 31, 2007, based on that day’s closing spot rate, was approximately $319,000, which was the approximate value of the Company’s yen-denominated accounts payable. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded in its cost of sales realized gains of approximately $22,000 and $10,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no unrealized gains or losses in 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 currency exchange rates at March 31, 2007 was approximately $36,000.

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. In addition to affecting operating results, adverse changes in interest rates could impact the Company’s access to capital, certain merger and acquisition strategies and the level of capital expenditures.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt, approximate fair value as of March 31, 2007 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported for long-term debt approximate fair value as of March 31, 2007 because, in general, the interest rates underlying the instruments fluctuate with market rates.

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 as of March 31, 2007 were effective. Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, fairly present, in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

P&F management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls. 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.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

The Certifications of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer included as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, in paragraph 4 of such certifications, information concerning the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Such certifications should be read in conjunction with the information contained in this Item 4 - Controls and Procedures for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by such certifications.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
