P&F and each of its subsidiaries are herein referred tocollectively as the "Company." In addition, the words "we", "our" and "us" refer to the Company. The Company operates in two primary lines ofbusiness, or segments: (i) tools and other products ("Tools") and (ii) hardware and accessories ("Hardware").Tools We conduct our Tools business through a wholly owned subsidiary, Continental Tool Group, Inc. ("Continental"), which in turn currentlyoperates through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation ("Florida Pneumatic") and Hy-Tech Machine, Inc.("Hy-Tech").Florida Pneumatic Florida Pneumatic imports, manufactures and sells pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the industrial, retail and automotive markets, and importsand sells compressor air filters. This line of products includes sanders, grinders, drills, saws and impact wrenches. These tools are similar in appearanceand function to electric hand tools, but are powered by compressed air, rather than directly by electricity. Air tools, as they are also called, are generallyless expensive to operate, offer better performance and weigh less than their electrical counterparts. Florida Pneumatic imports or manufacturesapproximately seventy-five types of pneumatic hand tools, most of which are sold at prices ranging from $50 to $1,000, under the names "FloridaPneumatic" and "Universal Tool," as well as under the trade names or trademarks of several private label customers. These Florida Pneumatic productsare sold to distributors, retailers and private label customers through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers' representatives. Users of FloridaPneumatic's hand tools include industrial maintenance and production staffs, do-it-yourself mechanics, automobile mechanics and auto body personnel. Florida Pneumatic purchases approximately 63% of its pneumatic tools from a Far East trading company that owns or represents 21 individualfactories in Japan, Taiwan and China. Of the total pneumatic tool purchases in 2008, approximately 8% are bought from Japan, 25% from Taiwan and65% from China. Florida Pneumatic performs final assembly on certain of its pneumatic tools at its factory in Jupiter, Florida. Further, it imports its airfilters as well as its Franklin products line. There are redundant sources for nearly all products purchased. Florida Pneumatic also markets, through its Berkley Tool division ("Berkley"), a product line which includes pipe and bolt dies, pipe taps,wrenches, vises and stands, pipe and tubing cutting equipment, hydrostatic test pumps, and replacement electrical components for a widely-used brandof pipe cutting and threading machines. Florida Pneumatic markets Berkley's products through industrial distributors and contractors. We source ourBerkley product line from China and Israel, as well as domestic sources. In addition, through its Franklin Manufacturing ("Franklin") division, Florida Pneumatic imports a line of door and window hardware. Franklinimports and packages approximately 275 types of hardware products, including locksets, deadbolts, door and window security hardware, rope-relatedhardware products and fire escape ladders. Franklin's products generally range in price from under $1.00 to $30.00, and are sold to retailers,wholesalers and private label accounts through manufacturers' representatives and in-house sales support personnel. Nearly all of Franklin's sales are ofproducts imported from China. The primary competitive factors in the pneumatic hand tool market are price, service and brand-name awareness. The primary competitive factors inBerkley's business are price and service.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of Contentsprimary competitive factors in Franklin's business are price, service, and skill in packaging and point-of-sale marketing. Florida Pneumatic's productsare sold off the shelf, and no material backlog of orders exists. The business is not seasonal, but it may be subject to significant periodic changesresulting from holiday sales promotions by customers.Hy-Tech In February 2007, Continental, through a newly formed subsidiary, Hy-Tech, acquired substantially all of the operating assets of two companiesthat were not affiliated with the Company, Hy-Tech Machine, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, and Quality Gear & Machine, Inc. and certain realproperty from another unaffiliated third party, HTM Associates. Hy-Tech manufactures and distributes pneumatic tools and parts for industrial applications. Hy-Tech manufactures approximately sixty types ofindustrial pneumatic tools, most of which are sold at prices ranging from $300 to $7,000, under the names "ATP", "Thaxton", "THOR" and "Eureka",as well as under the trade names or trademarks of other private label customers. This line of products includes grinders, drills, saws, impact wrenchesand pavement breakers. Hy-Tech's products are sold to distributors and private label customers through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers' representatives. Usersof Hy-Tech's tools include refineries, chemical plants, power generation facilities, the heavy construction industry, oil and mining companies and heavyindustry. Hy-Tech's products are sold off the shelf, and are also produced to customer's orders. The business is not seasonal, but it may be subject tosignificant periodic changes resulting from scheduled shutdowns in refineries, power generation facilities and chemical plants. The primary competitive factors in the industrial pneumatic tool market are quality, breadth of products and availability of products, customerservice and technical support.Hardware We conduct our Hardware business through a wholly owned subsidiary, Countrywide Hardware Inc. ("Countrywide"), which in turn operatesthrough its wholly owned subsidiaries, Nationwide Industries, Inc. ("Nationwide"), Woodmark International, L.P. ("Woodmark") and Pacific StairProducts, Inc. ("Pacific Stair").Nationwide Nationwide is an importer and manufacturer of door, window and fencing hardware, including rollers, hinges, window operators, sash locks,custom zinc castings and door closers. Nationwide's products are sold through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers' representatives todistributors, retailers and OEM customers. End users of Nationwide's products include contractors, home builders, pool and patio distributors,OEM/private label customers and general consumers. Most of Nationwide's sales are of products imported from Taiwan and China. Nationwide currently out-sources the manufacturing ofapproximately 94% of its product with several overseas factories, while retaining design, QC, patent and trademark control. There are redundant sourcesfor most products whether through dual manufacturing arrangements or back up buy/sell arrangements. Nationwide manufactures approximately 6% ofits products sold including rollers, hinges and pool enclosure products at its facility in Tampa, Florida. Additionally, Nationwide distributes its productsto its customers located in the western U.S. through the warehouse leased by our Pacific Stair subsidiary, located in Vista, California. Nationwide alsoleases warehouse space in McPherson, KS to support sales to a single large customer, and will be expanding this arrangement to Buffalo, NY in 2009. Nationwide's sales are somewhat seasonal, with revenues typically increasing during the spring and summer months. The majority of Nationwide'sproducts are sold off the shelf.3Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Woodmark's stair products are sold through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers' representatives to: a) traditional one- and two-stepdistributors of construction components who in turn sell to carpenters, home builders and the retail channel; b) distributors who specialize in stair partsand staircase installation; and c) stair parts manufacturers who outsource certain components from other manufacturers. Woodmark's residentialplumbing fixtures are sold through in-house sales personnel and manufacturers' representatives to: a) plumbing wholesalers and distributors, b) retailoutlets through purchasing cooperatives, hardware wholesalers and OEMs, c) distributors to manufactured housing-recreational vehicle industries andd) distributors specializing in maintenance and repair supplies. Woodmark purchases most of its stair parts and kitchen and bath products through a longstanding relationship with a Far East trade partner thatowns or represents four individual factories in China and Taiwan. Of the total stair parts and kitchen and bath product purchases, approximately 71%are bought from China and 26% from Taiwan. The balance is sourced primarily from the United States. There are redundant sources for most productspurchased and manufactured. The primary competitive factors in Woodmark's business are price, quality and product availability.Pacific Stair Pacific Stair was, until mid-2008, a manufacturer of premium stair rail products as well as a distributor of staircase components serving thebuilding industry, primarily in southern California and the southwestern region of the United States. In mid-2008, primarily as a result of the significantdown-turn of the number of new homes being constructed, the Company decided to discontinue manufacturing and closed the mill. Pacific Staircontinues to operate as a distributor of stair parts and rail products. Similar to Woodmark, Pacific Stair's products are sold through both in-house salespersonnel and independent sales reps to: a) traditional one- and two-step distributors of construction components who in turn sell to carpenters, homebuilders and the retail channels; b) distributors who specialize in stair parts and staircase installation; and c) stair parts manufacturers who outsourcecertain components from other manufacturers. The primary competitive factors in Pacific Stair's business are price, quality and product availability.Significant Customers The Tools segment has one customer that accounted for approximately 16.5% and 19.1%, respectively, of consolidated revenue for the years endedDecember 31, 2008, and 2007, and 27.7% and 26.3%, respectively, of consolidated accounts receivable as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. There areno significant customers in the Hardware segment.Discontinued OperationsGreen Manufacturing Inc.

Green also manufactured a line of access equipment for the petro-chemical and bulk storage industries. Thisproduct line consisted of bridges, platforms, walkways and stairways, constructed of steel or aluminum and generally installed outdoors. In addition,Green marketed a small line of diggers used primarily as attachments to small tractors for light farm work. This product line was marketed through farmequipment dealers and wholesalers. We sold the principal assets of Green between December 2004 and July 2005 in three transactions pursuant to threeseparate asset purchase agreements with non-affiliated third parties.Embassy Industries Inc. ("Embassy") Embassy was engaged in the manufacture and sale of baseboard heating products, sold nationally for use in hot-water heating systems installed insingle family homes, multi-unit dwellings and commercial and industrial buildings. Embassy's products were sold principally to wholesalers bymanufacturers' representatives and in-house sales personnel. Embassy's products were also sold to other manufacturers for incorporation into theirproducts and for distribution on a private-label basis. Embassy also imported a line of radiant heating systems. These systems include the tubing,manifolds, controls and installation supplies. Embassy also provided computer software that aids in the design of the system. In October 2005,Embassy sold substantially all of its operating assets, including, among others, machinery and equipment, inventory, accounts receivable and certainintangibles, to a non-affiliated third party. In June 2007, Embassy sold the real property to a different non-affiliated third party.Employees We employed 225 persons as of December 31, 2008, of which 214 were full-time employees. None of these employees are represented by aunion. We believe that our relationships with our employees are satisfactory.ITEM 1A. Risk Factors A wide range of factors could materially affect our performance. In addition to the factors affecting specific business operations identified inconnection with the description of these operations and the financial results of these operations elsewhere in this report, the following factors, amongothers, could adversely affect our results of operations or financial position:•The strength of the retail economy in the United States. Our business is subject to economic conditions in major markets, includingrecession, inflation, deflation, general weakness in retail, industrial, and housing markets. In particular, a significant portion of ourproducts are tied to new residential construction. The strength of such market depends on new housing starts which are a function ofmany factors beyond our control, including interest rates, employment levels, availability of credit and consumer confidence. •Decline of new housing starts. New housing starts have been declining on an annualized rate since 2006 and may continue at the lowerlevels or decline further. Such economic conditions could have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. •Supply chain disruptions. Any difficulty or inability on the part of manufacturers of our products or other participants in our supplychain in obtaining sufficient financing to purchase raw materials or to finance general working capital needs may result in delays or non-delivery of shipments of our products. •Our ability to maintain mutually beneficial relationships with key customers. We have several key customers, one of which constitutedapproximately 16.5% of our consolidated revenues for 2008.5Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of ContentsLoss of key customers or a material negative change in our relationships with our key customers could have a material adverse effect onour business, results of operations or financial position.•Adverse changes in currency exchange rates or raw material commodity prices. A majority of our products are manufactured outsidethe United States, of which a significant amount is purchased in the local currency. As a result, we are exposed to movements in theexchange rates of various currencies against the United States dollar which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations orfinancial position. We believe our most significant foreign currency exposures are the Japanese yen, the Taiwan dollar ("TWD") and theChinese Renminbi ("RMB"). We purchase a significant portion of products from China and Taiwan. These purchases are made in U.S.dollars. However, if either or both the TWD or RMB, were to strengthen materially in relation to the U.S. dollar, there could be anadverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position. We are also subject to currency risk with respect to the yen;however we generally purchase yen forward to mitigate the exposure. •Impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill. The inability of certain of our subsidiaries to generate future cash flows sufficient tosupport the recorded amounts of goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets related to those subsidiaries could result infuture impairment charges. •Unforeseen interruptions in the manufacturing ability of certain foreign suppliers. Our foreign suppliers may encounter interruption intheir ability to continue to provide us with products on a short-term or long-term basis. Although we believe that there are redundantsources available and maintain multiple sources for certain of our products, there may be costs and delays associated with securing suchsources and there can be no assurance that such sources would provide the same quality of product at similar prices. •Unforeseen inventory adjustments or changes in purchasing patterns. We make purchasing decisions based upon a number of factorsincluding an assessment of market needs and preferences, manufacturing lead times and cash flow considerations. To the extent that ourassumptions result in inventory levels being too high or too low, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results ofoperations or financial position. •Market acceptance of new products. There can be no assurance that the market continues its acceptance of the new products weintroduced in recent years or will accept new products scheduled for introduction in 2009. There can also be no assurance that the levelof sales generated from these new products relative to our expectations will materialize, based on existing investments in productivecapacity and commitments by us to fund advertising and product promotions in connection with the introduction of these new products. •Increased competition. The domestic markets in which we sell our products are highly competitive on the basis of price, quality,availability, post-sale service and brand-name awareness. A number of competing companies are well-established manufacturers thatcompete on a global basis. •Price reductions. Price reductions taken by us in response to customer and competitive pressures, as well as price reductions orpromotional actions taken in order to drive demand, may not result in anticipated sales necessary to offset the associated costs. •Interest rates. Interest rate fluctuations and other capital market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsof operations or financial position. •Litigation. The effects of litigation and product liability exposures, as well as other risks and uncertainties described from time to time inour filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and public announcements could have a material adverse effect on ourbusiness,6Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of Contentsresults of operations or financial position. Further, while we maintain insurance policies to protect against most potential exposures,events may arise against which we may not be adequately insured. (See "Item 3—Legal Proceedings".)•Substantial debt and debt service requirements. The amount of our debt could have important consequences. For example, it could:increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; limit our ability to fund future capital expenditures,working capital and other general corporate requirements; require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations tomake interest and principal payments on our debt; limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business; place us ata competitive disadvantage compared with competitors that have less debt; and limit our ability to borrow additional funds, even whennecessary to maintain adequate liquidity. Furthermore, the recent turmoil in the credit markets has, in general, resulted in higherborrowing costs and, for some companies, has limited access to credit. Although we believe that the lenders participating in ourrevolving credit facility will be able to provide financing in accordance with their contractual obligations, and will continue to provide uswith our credit needs for the foreseeable future, the current economic environment may adversely impact our ability to access funds onreasonable terms in a timely manner. •Significant volatility and disruption in the global capital and credit markets. Significant volatility and disruption in the global capital andcredit markets in 2008 and early 2009 have resulted in a tightening of business credit and liquidity, a contraction of consumer credit,business failures, increased unemployment and declines in consumer confidence and spending. If global economic and financial marketconditions continue to deteriorate or remain weak for an extended period of time, it could have a material adverse effect on our financialcondition and results of operations. In particular, lower consumer spending may result in reduced demand and orders for certain of ourproducts, order cancellations, lower revenues, increased inventories, and lower gross margins. Further, if our customers experiencedeclining revenues, or experience difficulty obtaining financing in the capital and credit markets to purchase our products, this couldresult in reduced orders for our products, order cancellations, inability of customers to timely meet their payment obligations to us,extended payment terms, higher accounts receivable, reduced cash flows, greater expense associated with collection efforts and increasedbad debt expense; and a severe financial difficulty experienced by our customers may cause them to become insolvent or cease businessoperations. •Compliance with financial covenants. Under the terms of our credit agreement, we are required to adhere to certain financial covenants.At December 31, 2008 we were not in compliance with certain financial covenants; however, the banks waived compliance with suchfinancial covenants. If we are not in compliance with any financial covenant at any time in the future and such non-compliance is notwaived, our access to funds may be adversely affected, debt may become due immediately, and/or certain of our assets securing our debtcould be foreclosed. •Retention of key personnel. Our success depends to a significant extent upon the abilities and efforts of our key personnel. The loss ofthe services of any of our key personnel or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future could have a materialadverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial position. •Acquisition of businesses. Part of our business strategy is to opportunistically acquire complementary businesses and dispose of non-complementary businesses. If we fail to develop and integrate any acquired business or dispose of any businesses effectively, ourearnings may be adversely affected. In addition, our management team will need to devote substantial time and attention to the acquisitionand integration of the acquired businesses, which could distract them from their other duties and responsibilities.7Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

We cannot anticipate the impact of changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards,taxation requirements, including tax rate changes, new tax laws and revised tax law interpretations, and environmental laws, in bothdomestic and foreign jurisdictions. •Our financial position, cash flow or results may be adversely affected by the threat of terrorism and related political instability andeconomic uncertainty. The threat of potential terrorist attacks on the United States and throughout the world and political instability hascreated an atmosphere of economic uncertainty in the United States and in foreign markets. Our results may be impacted by themacroeconomic effects of those events. Also, a disruption in our supply chain as a result of terrorist attacks or the threat thereof maysignificantly affect our business and its prospects. In addition, such events may also result in heightened domestic security and highercosts for importing and exporting shipments of components and finished goods. Any of these occurrences may have a material adverseeffect on our financial position, cash flow or results in any reporting period. •Unforeseen events. We cannot anticipate the impact of unforeseen events, including but not limited to war and pandemic disease, oneconomic conditions and consumer confidence on our business. The risk factors described above are not intended to be all-inclusive. There can be no assurance that we have correctly identified and appropriatelyassessed all factors affecting our business or that the publicly available and other information with respect to these matters is complete and correct.Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely impact us. Should anyrisks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations orfinancial position.ITEM 1B.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations OVERVIEW Our overall financial results are indicative of the general economy. As illustrated in the table below, our consolidated 2008 revenue of $87,657,000reflects a decrease of $23,168,000 compared to $110,825,000 reported for 2007. In particular, our Hardware segment continues to suffer through apersistent major reduction in the number of new homes being constructed, which is a key driver to its revenue. This prolonged down-turn continues toadversely affect revenue and gross profit reported at Woodmark, Pacific Stairs and to a lesser extent, Nationwide. In an effort to improve the overallresults at Pacific Stair, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, we completed the closure of its mill and consolidated operations intoits warehouse and began sourcing its products from overseas suppliers. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce Census data, ("census data"), new single-unit housing completions were approximately 819,000,1,218,000, 1,655,000 and 1,636,000 for 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fall-off of single unit housing starts from 2007 to 2008 of399,000 or 32.8% highlights the significance of the affect on our Company, in particular the Hardware segment. During 2008, but to a lesser degree our Tools segment began to feel the grip of the slowing general economy, as sales to its major retail customerfeel sharply. Additionally, as was disclosed in previous filings, revenue at Florida Pneumatic decreased as the result of the loss of The Home Depot.Offsetting a portion of the revenue decrease was growth in industrial tool sales, at Hy-Tech. Yet, despite the general economic down turn which wasprevalent for most of 2008, our consolidated gross margins for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased slightly to 30.7% from 29.6% in 2007. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles we are required to evaluate the carrying value of our intangible assets at least once ayear. We determined that certain intangible assets were impaired. As a result, we recorded impairment charges of approximately $7,477,000 during thefourth quarter of 2008. We believe these impairment charges are primarily the result of the continuing down-turn of the number on new homes beingconstructed as well as a down turn in the general economy. Results of operations for acquired businesses are reported in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. As such, results forHy-Tech have been included since February 12, 2007. Please refer to the result of operations data provided within this section for further information. Net revenue Change 2008 2007 Amount % Hardware $38,079,000 $51,511,000 $(13,432,000) (26.1)%Tools 49,578,000 59,314,000 (9,736,000) (16.4) Consolidated $87,657,000 $110,825,000 $(23,168,000) (20.9)% KEY INDICATORSEconomic Measures As noted above the most critical economic indicator affecting our overall performance for 2008 was and will for the foreseeable future be newhousing starts. During 2008, revenue for our Hardware segment fell proportionately to the decrease in new housing starts. As the data presented earlierindicates, the annualized number of new single-unit housing completions decreased nearly 33% when comparing the annualized starts in 2008 and2007. Another key economic measure relevant to us is the cost of the raw materials in our products. Key materials include wood and metals, especiallyvarious types of steel and aluminum. Also important is the value of the dollar in relation to the Japanese yen ("yen") and the Taiwan dollar ("TWD"), aswe purchase a significant portion of our products from these two countries.

However, if the Chinese currency, the Renminbi ("RMB"), were to be revalued against the dollar, there could be asignificant negative impact on the cost of our products.Operating Measures Key operating measures we use to manage our operating segments are: orders; shipments; development of new products; customer retention;inventory levels and productivity. These measures are recorded and monitored at various intervals, including daily, weekly and monthly. To the extentthese measures are relevant; they are discussed in the detailed sections for each operating segment.Financial Measures Key financial measures we use to evaluate the results of our business include: various revenue metrics; gross margin; selling, general andadministrative expenses; earnings before interest and taxes; operating cash flows and capital expenditures; return on sales; return on assets; days salesoutstanding and inventory turns. These measures are reviewed at monthly, quarterly and annual intervals and compared to historical periods as well asestablished objectives. To the extent that these measures are relevant, they are discussed in the detailed sections for each operating segment.CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Certain of these accounting policies require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues andexpenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, includingthose related to bad debts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, warranty reserves and taxes. We base our estimates on historical data andexperience, when available, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the combined results of whichform the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual resultsmay differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting policies are further described below.Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or titled has passed to our customer or serviceshave been provided, the sale price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. We sell our goods on terms which transfer title andrisk of loss at a specified location, typically shipping point, port of loading or port of discharge, depending on the final destination of the goods.Revenue recognition from product sales occurs when all factors are met, including transfer of title and risk of loss, which occurs either upon shipmentby us or upon receipt by customers at the location specified in the terms of sale. Other than standard product warranty provisions, our salesarrangements provide for no other, post-shipment obligations. We do offer rebates and other sales incentives, promotional allowances or discounts,from time to time and for certain customers, typically related to customer purchase volume, all of which are fixed or determinable and are classified as areduction of revenue and recorded at the time of sale. We periodically evaluate whether an allowance for sales returns is necessary. Historically, we haveexperienced little, if any, sales returns. If we believe there are potential sales returns, we would provide any necessary provision against sales.Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Senior management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Analysis ofcustomer history, financial data and the overall economic environment is performed. In addition, balances outstanding for more than 60 days areevaluated for possible inclusion in the accounts receivable reserve. Collection agencies may also be utilized if management so determines.12Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. The user assumes all risks for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information,except to the extent such damages or losses cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law. Past financial performance is no guarantee of future results.Table of Contents We record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. We also may record asan additional allowance a certain percentage of aged accounts receivable, based on historical experience and our assessment of the general financialconditions affecting our customer base. If actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. We have a limited number ofcustomers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date. Any unanticipated change in the creditworthiness of any of thesecustomers could have a material affect on our results of operations in the period in which such changes or events occur. After all reasonable attempts tocollect an account receivable have failed, the amount of the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available, we believethat our allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2008 was adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method or the weighted average method. Theinventory balance, which includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead costs, is recorded net of an allowance for obsolete or unmarketableinventory. Such allowance is based upon both historical experience and management's understanding of market conditions and forecasts of futureproduct demand. In addition, all items in inventory in excess of one year's usage are considered for inclusion in the calculation of inventoryobsolescence. If the actual amount of obsolete or unmarketable inventory significantly exceeds the estimated allowance, our cost of sales, gross profitand net earnings would be significantly affected.Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), wetest goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment might exist. Theevaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets requires that management prepare estimates of future operating results for each of our operating units.These estimates are made with respect to future business conditions and estimated expected future cash flows to determine estimated fair value.However, if, in the future, key drivers in our assumptions or estimates such as (i) a decrease in the number of new housing starts; (ii) a decline ingeneral economic conditions; (iii) competitive pressures on our revenue or margins; (iv) pricing from our vendors which cannot be past through to ourcustomers; (v) breakdowns in supply chain or other factors beyond our control occur, an impairment charge to our intangible assets may be required.ACQUISITIONSHy-Tech Machine, Inc. On February 14, 2007, we acquired substantially all of the assets 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 toadjustments, plus the assumption of certain payables and liabilities and the obligation to make certain contingent payments. The purchase price wasnegotiated on the basis of the Hy-Tech Sellers' historical financial performance. In connection with this acquisition, we entered into an Agreement of Sale with HTM Associates, a Pennsylvania general partnership comprised ofcertain 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 Machine, Inc and Quality Gear & Machine, Inc and the real propertywas financed through our senior credit facility.

The most significant impact wasduring the three-month period ended December 31, 2008, during which time a number of its customers reduced or held off placing orders. During2008, its net sales to its largest retail customer decreased approximately $6,700,000 when compared to net sales in 2007; nearly half the decrease, orapproximately $3,300,000, was the result of the customer not repeating non-pneumatic promotional product business in 2008. Further, sales of ourFranklin products line slid 53% or $2,496,000 to $2,209,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 from $4,705,000 in the same period in the prioryear. The industrial and catalog revenue for 2008 decreased $159,000 and $165,000, respectively, when comparing revenue for the year endedDecember 31, 2008 to the same period in the prior year. Lastly, an additional contributing factor to the decrease in revenue at Florida Pneumatic was theloss of The Home Depot during the year. The loss of this customer, disclosed in previous filings, accounted for approximately $4,500,000 of the drop-off in revenue at Florida Pneumatic. Hy-Tech however, continues to provide a positive impact to the Tools segment. Hy-Tech focuses on the industrial sector of the pneumatic toolsmarket, an area which thus far has not been as materially affected by an overall sluggish economy. As illustrated in the table above, revenue generatedby Hy-Tech increased $4,363,000 when comparing 2008 to 2007. Hy-Tech's revenue for 2007 is from the date of acquisition, February 12, 2007,through December 31, 2007. It has, throughout 2008, continued to create organic growth.Hardware This segment for 2008 has been severely impacted by the continuing down-turn in the number of new homes, being constructed. As a result,Woodmark's total revenue decreased to $22,147,000 from $31,852,000. For the year ended December 31, 2008, revenue generated through the sale ofits stair products was $17,423,000 down from $26,027,000 in 2007, a decrease of $8,604,000 or approximately 33.1%. A significant portion of thedecrease in Woodmark's stair parts revenue was due to the loss of a key customer who, for the year ended December 31, 2007, accounted forapproximately 11% of the Woodmark stair parts line revenue. Several smaller accounts have gone out of business, while others have reduced theirvolume significantly. We do not believe the decrease in revenue is due to pricing or15Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Woodmark has been able to increase volume with certain customers as well as gain several new customers in difficult times. Similarly, with respect to Woodmark's kitchen & bath product line, the downturn in the number of new homes as well as a diminishing recreationalvehicle and mobile home market, which is a key customer group to this line, adversely impacted sales of Woodmark's kitchen & bath products. Netrevenue of kitchen & bath products decreased to $4,725,000 in 2008 from $5,825,000 reported for the year ended December 31, 2007; a decrease of$1,100,000 or 18.9%. One key customer of this product line which accounted for approximately 10% of the product line revenue in 2007 went out ofbusiness along with several smaller accounts, while others have reduced their volume significantly. We do not believe the decrease in revenue is due topricing or service issues. Until the downward trend in the number of new housing starts levels and begins to increase, we do not expect to see improvement in Woodmark'snet revenue. Net revenue for the year ending December 31, 2008 at Pacific Stair, located in Southern California decreased to $1,884,000 from $3,681,000reported for 2007. The loss of revenue at Pacific Stair is primarily attributable to the continuing decline in the new home construction market in thesouthwest region of the United States, specifically, California Nevada and Arizona. Nationwide, which primarily markets fencing and gate hardware had not, until the second calendar quarter of 2008, been materially affected byeither the sluggish home building sector or the general slow-down in the overall economy, reported net revenue for 2008 of $14,048,000 compared to$15,978,000 in the prior year. Nationwide's net revenue is categorized in three components, all suffering declines; fencing—decreased $376,000 to$10,029,000; OEM decreased $1,059,000 to $2,982,000 and the patio business line decreased $495,000 to $1,037,000. We believe the decrease atNationwide is related to the sluggish real estate market in the southeastern portion of the U.S.A., as well as increased competitive pressures. Further,cost increases from our foreign suppliers may continue to reduce the beneficial impact of the new products which were introduced during 2008.GROSS MARGIN Year Ended December 31, Change 2008 2007 Amount % Tools $16,448,000 $17,090,000 $(642,000) (3.8)%As percent of respective revenue 33.2% 28.8% 4.4 pts Hardware $10,467,000 $15,752,000 $(5,285,000) (33.6)%As percent of respective revenue 27.5% 30.6% (3.1) pts Consolidated $26,915,000 $32,842,000 $(5,927,000) (18.0)%As percent of respective revenue 30.7% 29.6% 1.1 pts Tools Gross margins in the Tools segment increased 4.4 percentage points to 33.2% for the full year ended December 31, 2008 from 28.8% for the sameperiod in 2007. However, gross profit for this segment decreased $642,000 as a result of the decrease in revenue. Despite a struggling economy,Florida Pneumatic was able to improve its overall gross margin 4.2 percentage points to 30.2% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from 26.0% forthe year ended December 31, 2007. This increase was primarily the result of (i) product pricing and customer mix; (ii) price reductions from and orutilization of new lower cost overseas suppliers and (iii) outsourcing certain manufacturing processes. However, the above factors were offset by a3.8 percentage point erosion of its Franklin products line, resulting primarily from reduced selling prices caused by competitive pressures. Hy-Tech's gross margin improved slightly to 37.4% compared to its results for the prior year (date of acquisition of February 12, 2007 throughDecember 31, 2007) amount of 37.3%.16Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

For theyear 2008, the Hardware segment gross margin was 27.5%, reflecting a decrease of 3.1 percentage points when compared to 30.6% for the same periodin the prior year. Gross profit for the Hardware segment decreased $5,285,000 to $10,467,000 reported for the year ended December 31, 2008 from$15, 752,000, for the same period in 2007. Specifically, gross margins for our stair parts business as well as our kitchen and bath businesses atWoodmark decreased 2.5 and 3.3 percentage points, respectively, when comparing the results for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Thesegross margin decreases, combined with the reduction in their respective revenue resulted in an overall a reduction of gross profit at Woodmark of$3,407,000. The gross margin decrease in the stair parts business is a combination of price reductions made in order to remain competitive, costincreases and lower absorption of fixed expenses as a result of lower revenue. The decrease in gross margin for the kitchen and bath product line is dueprimarily to a combination of vendor price increases combined with selling price concessions. The gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2008at Pacific Stair continued to reflect the impact of the severely reduced number of new homes being constructed in the Southwestern region of the UnitedStates, compounded by the inability to reduce fixed manufacturing overhead costs as sales levels were decreasing. For the year ended December 31,2008, Pacific Stair Products had a gross deficit of 11.6% compared to gross margin of 10.1% reported for the same period in 2007. Revenue generateddirectly from products manufactured at the mill generated a deficit margin in excess of 50%, while revenue from products imported then shippedgenerated a deficit margin of less than 1%. Thus, in an effort to improve the overall results at Pacific Stair, during the third quarter of 2008 wecompleted the closure of its mill and consolidated operations into its warehouse. Our gross margin at Nationwide of 34.4% for the year ended December 31, 2008 reflects a decrease of 3.7% from the 38.1% reported for the yearended December 31, 2007. The gross margin decrease was primarily due to price increases from overseas suppliers, lower absorption of warehousecosts, as well as certain instances where we were required to lower our selling prices in highly competitive situations to key customers. Combined withdecreased revenue, Nationwide's gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2008 at Nationwide fell $1,250,000 to $4,838,000.SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") include salaries and related costs, commissions, travel, administrative facilities,communications costs and promotional expenses for our direct sales and marketing staff, administrative and executive salaries and related benefits, legal,accounting and other professional fees, as well as amortization and depreciation and general corporate overhead and certain engineering expenses. SG&A for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased to $24,296,000 reflecting a reduction of $3,804,000, or 13.5% from $28,100,000 in2007. A portion of this reduction is the result of management's on going effort to reduce or control operating expenses wherever possible. However, asa significant portion is fixed, as a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased to 27.7% from 25.4% for the prior year. It should be noted that for the yearended December 31, 2008, our consolidated SG&A included twelve months of Hy-Tech's SG&A, compared to approximately ten and one half monthin 2007 as Hy-Tech was acquired February 12, 2007. Significant items affecting the change in our SG&A include reductions in compensation of $1,159,000, non-cash stock compensation of $112,000and as the result of the impairment charges taken in 2007 depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $316,000.

Offsetting the decreases in our SG&A described above, we incurred increases to certain operating expenses. As the result of the loss of The HomeDepot business, we recorded severance costs and an equipment write-down aggregating $219,000. Additionally, in an effort to improve the overallresults at Pacific Stair, we completed the closure of its mill and consolidated operations into its warehouse. As a result of the mill closure, we recorded awrite down of certain assets and inventories, and paid severance, all aggregating approximately $136,000. We believe this action should improve thePacific Stair Products' financial results moving forward, however there can be no assurance that other factors could offset this action.IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIABLE ASSETS In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142, we recorded an impairment charge of $7,477,000 relating to goodwill and other intangible assetsduring the fourth quarter of 2008. Throughout 2008, as was the case in 2007, the United States has remained in the throes of a major downturn in thenumber of new homes being constructed. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce Census data, new single-unit housing completions wereapproximately 819,000 for 2008 and 1,218,000 in 2007, reflecting 32.8% decrease in the number of new home construction starts when comparing theyears 2008 to 2007. This decrease in annual single unit housing starts has resulted in a decrease in the value of our Hardware segment, in particularPacific Stair and Woodmark. This was compounded by general sluggishness in other sectors of the economy that directly drive our businesses, leadingto sales degradation. As a result, certain of our subsidiaries were unable to demonstrate an ability to generate sufficient discounted future cash flows tosupport the recorded amounts of goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets related to those subsidiaries, necessitating the aggregateimpairment charge. If the sectors in which our subsidiaries operate, including among other things, new home construction further declines, we couldincur additional impairment charges in future periods. We recorded an impairment charge of $23,462,000 relating to goodwill and other intangible assets during the fourth quarter of 2007. During 2007the country witnessed a deteriorating new home construction sector. This was compounded by general sluggishness in sectors of the economy thatdirectly drive our businesses, sales degradation and pricing concessions to certain key customers within our Tools segment and the loss of keycustomers in our Hardware segment. As a result, certain of our subsidiaries were unable to demonstrate an ability to generate sufficient discountedfuture cash flows to support the recorded amounts of goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets related to those subsidiaries,necessitating the aggregate impairment charge.INTEREST—NET Our net interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 of $1,769,000 reflects a decrease of $1,149,000 or 39.4% when compared to netinterest expense of $2,918,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Interest expense decreased $436,000 and $547,000, respectively, on the termloans associated with the Woodmark and Hy-Tech acquisitions principally the result of lower average borrowings during the period due to repayments,as well as slightly lower average interest rates. Interest expense on borrowings under our revolving credit loan facility for the year ended December 31,2008 was $672,000 compared to $607,000 in the prior year, resulting in an increase of $65,000, due primarily to higher average loan balances. Our totalaverage debt under the terms of our credit facilities with our banks for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $30,990,000 and$34,403,000, respectively. The total average interest rate for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were 4.95% and 7.13%, respectively.Interest expenses on Woodmark's acquisition-related notes payable decreased by approximately $95,000, as these notes were settled during 2007.Interest expense on trade payables financed with overseas suppliers at Florida Pneumatic decreased approximately $103,000 primarily the result ofchanges in both certain overseas vendors and, in some cases, vendor18Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

Lastly, during the year ended December 31, 2008, we receivedapproximately $13,000 additional interest income compared to the prior year.INCOME TAX (BENEFIT) The effective tax rates applicable to loss from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were 33.4% and 20.4%respectively. Key factors contributing to the current year's effective tax rate were an increase in a valuation allowance offset by state and local taxbenefits. The key factor affecting the prior year's effective tax rate was the asset impairment charges recorded in accordance with SFAS 142.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, our net earnings from discontinued operations were approximately $117,000 and $93,000,respectively. The primary source of which is commissions paid to us by one of the non-affiliated third party buyers of Green. The commission incomewill cease in 2009. Embassy, which ceased all operations in 2006, received $6,300,000 in June 2007 for the sale of real property and used the after-taxproceeds to satisfy the mortgage on the building of approximately $1,200,000 and reduce its long-term debt. We reported a pre-tax gain from the sale ofapproximately $5,100,000 in 2007.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our cash flows from operations can be somewhat cyclical, typically with the greatest demand in the second and third quarters followed by positivecash flows in the fourth quarter as receivables and inventories trend down. We monitor average days sales outstanding, inventory turns and capitalexpenditures to project liquidity needs and evaluate return on assets employed. Our primary sources of funds are cash available through a creditagreement with two banks and cash generated from operations. We believe the relationships with our banks are good. We gauge our liquidity and financial stability by the measurements shown in the following table: December 31, 2008 2007 Working capital $16,491,000 $24,000,000 Current ratio 1.61 to 1 1.95 to 1 Shareholders' equity $33,867,000 $37,986,000 The Company entered into a Credit Agreement, ("Credit Agreement") as amended, with two banks in 2004. This agreement includes a revolvingcredit loan facility, which provides a total of $18,000,000 for direct borrowings, with various sublimits for letters of credit, bankers' acceptances andequipment loans. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this credit agreement. The Credit Agreement is subject to review by thelending banks. During 2008, the Company and the banks executed various amendments to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, establishednew applicable loan margins for both a revolving credit facility, as well as for applicable term loan margins, expanded the definition of eligibleinventories, amended certain financial covenants and set January 15, 2009 as the termination date of the revolving credit loan portion of the creditagreement facility. Subsequent to year end, the Company and the banks executed amendments which extended the termination date of the revolvingcredit loan portion of the Credit Agreement facility to March 31, 2009. The Company and the banks are negotiating terms of a further amendment whichthe Company believes will, among other things extend the term of the revolving portion of the facility and restructure the term loans; however, there canbe no assurance this will occur. Direct borrowings under the revolving credit loan facility are secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventoriesand equipment, and are cross-guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries. These borrowings bear interest at LIBOR (London InterBank OfferedRate) or the prime interest rate, plus the currently19Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

The loan margins added to LIBOR were 2.00% and 1.75% at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, and theloan margin added to the prime interest rate at both December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was 0.5%. At December 31, 2008 and December 31,2007, the balances outstanding on the revolving credit loan facility were $15,000,000 and $8,000,000, respectively. The Company's Credit Agreement also includes a term loan facility, which provided a maximum commitment of $34,000,000 to financeacquisitions subject to the approval of the lending banks. Borrowings under the term loan facility are secured by the Company's accounts receivable,inventories and equipment, and are cross-guaranteed by each of the Company's subsidiaries. These borrowings bear interest at LIBOR or the primeinterest rate, plus the currently applicable loan margin. In connection with the acquisition of Hy-Tech in February 2007, the Company executed anddelivered an amendment to the credit agreement, which provided a new term loan in the amount of $19,000,000 (the "Hy-Tech term loan"). During2007, the Company paid $5,000,000 against the Hy-Tech term loan. In January 2008, the Company paid an additional $5,000,000 against the Hy-Techterm loan through additional borrowings on the revolving credit loan facility. As a result of these principal payments which aggregated $10,000,000, theHy-Tech term loan balance was $14,000,000 at December 31, 2007 and $9,000,000 at the time of commencement of the scheduled principal payments.The Hy-Tech term loan is payable in 25 equal quarterly payments, which commenced January 25, 2008. As the result of the principal payments madeprior to the commencement of the scheduled payments, the amount of each quarterly principal payment is $360,000. There was $7,560,000 and$14,000,000 outstanding against this term loan at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. In addition, during 2004, the Companyborrowed $29,000,000 against the term loan facility to finance the Company's acquisition of Woodmark. The principal amount on this term loan ispayable in quarterly installments of $950,000. The loan margins added to LIBOR were 2.25% and 2.00% at December 31, 2008 and December 31,2007, respectively, and the loan margins added to the prime interest rate were 0.5% and 0.25% at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,respectively. The foreign exchange line provides for the availability of up to $10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix theexchange rate on future purchases of Japanese yen needed for payments to foreign suppliers. There were no foreign currency forward contractsoutstanding under the foreign exchange line at December 31, 2008. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we are required to adhere to certain financial covenants. At December 31, 2008, we were not incompliance with certain of these financial covenants. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the banks issued an amendment which, among other things,waived compliance with such financial covenants. Further, the amendment modified certain terms and conditions in connection with the creditagreement. The Company believes that this amendment will enable it to be in compliance with financial covenants in future periods. Accordingly, theCompany has not reclassified to current liabilities the long-term portions of our bank debts. See Note 17—Subsequent event. In connection with the acquisition of Hy-Tech, we agreed to make additional payments ("Contingent Consideration") to the sellers. The amount ofthe 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, February 12, 2007, over a base year EBITDA of $4,473,000. In addition, we agreedto make an additional payment ("Additional Contingent Consideration"), subject to certain conditions related to an exclusive supply agreement with amajor customer and, to a certain extent, and subject to certain provisions, the achievement of Contingent Consideration. The maximum amount ofAdditional Contingent Consideration may not exceed $1,900,000. Although not confirmed as of the date of this filing, we believe that Hy-Tech hassuccessfully achieved the required thresholds necessary to be entitled to both the Contingent Consideration and the Additional ContingentConsideration. The total amount of the Contingent Consideration and the Additional Contingent Consideration is approximately $2,200,000. Anyamounts20Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

However, we are currently negotiatingwith the sellers to permit us to make said payments in four quarterly installments commencing in May 2009. Any additional payments made to the Hy-Tech sellers referred to above will be treated by us as additions to goodwill. Embassy participated in a multi-employer pension plan until it sold substantially all of its operating assets in October 2005. This plan provideddefined benefits to all of its union workers. Contributions to this plan were determined by the union contract. The Company does not administer the planfunds and does not have any control over the plan funds. As a result of Embassy's withdrawal from the plan, it estimated and recorded a withdrawalliability of approximately $369,000, which is payable in quarterly installments of approximately $8,200, which includes interest, from May 2006through February 2026. At December 31, 2008, the outstanding amount of this withdrawal liability was approximately $331,000, which is included inliabilities of discontinued operations. Further, in connection with the sale of Embassy, we recorded the net present value of a receivable in the amount ofapproximately $90,000, which is scheduled to be collected at approximately $8,200 per quarter from May 2006 through May 2009. Our cash balance at December 31, 2008 of $1,043,000 reflects a decrease of $291,000 from $1,334,000 at December 31, 2007. Our totalborrowings decreased $3,505,000 to $30,544,000 from $34,049,000 at December 31, 2007, due primarily to reductions in our term loans, offset by anincrease in the short-term credit facility. Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and2007 were approximately $3,880,000 and $7,791,000, respectively. We believe that cash on hand derived from operations and cash available throughborrowings under our credit facilities will be sufficient to allow us to meet our working capital needs for at least the next the next twelve months. The percent of debt to total book capitalization (debt plus equity) increased a negligible one tenth of one percent to 47.4% from 47.3% atDecember 31, 2007. Capital spending slowed to $759,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008; a reduction of $542,000 or 42% compared to $1,301,000 in2007. Capital expenditures currently planned for 2009 are expected to approximate $1,000,000, some of which may be financed through our creditfacilities. The majority of the projected 2009 capital expenditures will relate to replacement of computer operated machinery as well as additional newequipment at Hy-Tech which is will improve output as well as enhance new product development.OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS Our foreign exchange line provides for the availability of up to $10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix theexchange rate on future purchases of foreign currencies needed for payments to foreign suppliers. We have not purchased forward contracts on NewTaiwan dollars ("TWD"). There were no foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2008. Florida Pneumatic imports approximately 9% of its purchases from Japan, with payment due in Japanese yen. As a result, we are subject to theeffects of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. We use a variety of techniques to protect ourselves from any adverse effects from these fluctuations,obtaining price reductions from our overseas suppliers, using alternative supplier sources, increasing selling prices, when possible and entering intoforeign currency forward contracts.IMPACT OF INFLATION We believe that the effects of changing prices and inflation on our financial position and its results of operations are immaterial.ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Although it is difficult to identify precisely the portion of capital expenditures or other costs attributable to compliance with environmental laws andregulations, we do not expect such expenditures or other costs to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and its results ofoperations.21Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

SFAS 157 provides a new single authoritativedefinition of fair value and provides enhanced guidance for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and requires additional disclosures related tothe extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair valuemeasurements on earnings. SFAS 157 became effective as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on ourconsolidated financial position or results of operations. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, Including an amendment ofFASB Statement No. 115", ("SFAS 159"). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items atfair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 was effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2008. The adoption of thisstatement did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. In December 2007, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 110, "Share-Based Payment", which amends SAB 107, Share-BasedPayment, to permit public companies, under certain circumstances, to use the simplified method in SAB 107 for employee option grants afterDecember 31, 2007. Use of the simplified method after December 2007 is permitted only for companies whose historical data about their employees'exercise behavior does not provide a reasonable basis for estimating the expected term of the options. We currently use the simplified method to estimatethe expected term for employee option grants as adequate historical experience is not available to provide a reasonable estimate. SAB 110 is effective foremployee options granted after December 31, 2007. We adopted SAB 110 effective January 1, 2008, however, we will continue applying the simplifiedmethod until enough historical experience is readily available to provide a reasonable estimate of the expected term for employee option grants.Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-2, "Effective Date for FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP No. FAS 157-2"). This FSPpermits the delayed application of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, as defined in this FSP, except for those that arerecognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements at least annually. As of January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, with theexception of its application to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, which the Company will defer in accordance with FSP No. FAS 157-2.The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157-2 for the year beginning January 1, 2009, for such nonfinancial assets andnonfinancial liabilities on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements: an amendment of ARBNo. 51". The new Statement changes the accounting for, and the financial statement presentation of, non-controlling equity interests in a consolidatedsubsidiary. SFAS 160 replaces the existing minority-interest provisions of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) 51, "Consolidated FinancialStatements", by defining a new term—non-controlling interests—to replace what were previously called minority interests. The new standardestablishes non-controlling interests as a component of the equity of a consolidated entity. The underlying principle of the new standard is that both thecontrolling interest and the non-controlling interests are part of the equity of a single economic entity: the consolidated reporting entity. Classifying non-controlling interests as a component of consolidated equity is a change from the current practice of treating minority interests as a mezzanine itembetween liabilities and equity or as a liability. The change affects both the accounting22Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

SFAS 160 includes reporting requirements intended to clearly identifyand differentiate the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. The reporting requirements are required to be appliedretrospectively. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlyadoption is prohibited. We intend to adopt SFAS 160 effective January 1, 2009 and apply its provisions prospectively. We will also presentcomparative consolidated financial statements that reflect the retrospective application of the disclosure and presentation provisions when it applies therequirements of SFAS 160. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141(R)) to change how an entity accounts forthe acquisition of a business. When effective, SFAS 141(R) will replace existing SFAS 141 in its entirety. SFAS 141(R) carries forward the existingrequirements to account for all business combinations using the acquisition method (formerly called the purchase method). In general, SFAS 141(R)will require acquisition-date fair value measurement of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in the acquiree.SFAS 141(R) will eliminate the current cost-based purchase method under SFAS 141. The new measurement requirements will result in the recognitionof the full amount of acquisition-date goodwill, which includes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests. The acquirer will recognize in incomeany gain or loss on the remeasurement to acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred or of previously acquired equity interests in theacquiree. Neither the direct costs incurred to effect a business combination nor the costs the acquirer expects to incur under a plan to restructure anacquired business will be included as part of the business combination accounting. As a result, those costs will be charged to expense when incurred,except for debt or equity issuance costs, which will be accounted for in accordance with other generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 141(R)will also change the accounting for contingent consideration, in process research and development, contingencies, and restructuring costs. In addition,changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination that occur after the measurementperiod will impact income taxes under SFAS 141(R). SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginningon or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We intend to adopt SFAS 141(R) effective January 1, 2009 and apply its provisionsprospectively. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements ofnongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 daysfollowing the Securities and Exchange Commission approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411,"The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The adoption of this statement is not expected to havea material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, statement of operations or cash flows. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards if currently adopted would have a materialeffect on the consolidated financial statements.ITEM 7A.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2008 and 2007 NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIESPrinciples of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements contained herein include the accounts of P&F Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("P&F"). All significantintercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. P&F conducts its business operations through two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Continental Tool Group, Inc. ("Continental") andCountrywide Hardware, Inc. ("Countrywide"). On June 29, 2007, P&F transferred its sole and direct ownership interest in Florida PneumaticManufacturing Corporation ("Florida Pneumatic") to Continental.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)December 31, 2008 and 2007NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) The assets and liabilities and results of operations of Embassy and Green have been segregated and reported separately as discontinued operationsin the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.Basis of Financial Statement Presentation The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been provided, thesale price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company sells its goods on terms which transfer title and risk of loss ata specified location, typically shipping point, port of loading or port of discharge, depending on the final destination of the goods. Revenue recognitionfrom product sales occurs when all factors are met, including transfer of title and risk of loss, which occurs either upon shipment by the Company orupon receipt by customers at the location specified in the terms of sale. Other than standard product warranty provisions, the Company's salesarrangements provide for no other, or insignificant, post-shipment obligations. The Company does offer rebates and other sales incentives, promotionalallowances or discounts, from time to time and for certain customers, typically related to customer purchase volume, all of which are fixed ordeterminable and are classified as a reduction of revenue and recorded at the time of sale. The Company periodically evaluates whether an allowance forsales returns is necessary. Historically, the Company has experienced little, if any, sales returns. If the Company believes there are potential salesreturns, the Company would provide any necessary provision against sales.Shipping and Handling Costs The Company generally does not bill customers for shipping and handling costs. Expenses for shipping and handling costs are included in selling,general and administrative expenses, and totaled approximately $2,466,000 and $2,785,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,respectively.Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with maturities of three months or less from thedate of acquisition. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company maintains cash balances at various financialinstitutions. At December 31, 2008, these financial institutions held cash that was approximately $1,771,000 in excess of amounts insured by theFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation and other government agencies.Financial Instruments The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes and other receivables,accounts payable and short-term debt, approximate33Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)December 31, 2008 and 2007NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)fair value as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 because of the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reportedfor long-term debt approximate fair value as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 because, in general, the interest rates underlying the instruments fluctuatewith market rates.Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its products to retailers, distributors and originalequipment manufacturers involved in a variety of industries, hardware, tools and mobile equipment. The Company performs continuing creditevaluations of its customers' financial condition, and although the Company generally does not require collateral, letters of credit may be required fromcustomers in certain circumstances. Senior management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Analysis ofcustomer history, financial data and the overall economic environment is performed. In addition, balances outstanding for more than 90 days areevaluated for possible inclusion in the accounts receivable reserve. Collection agencies may also be utilized if management so determines. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that are believed to be uncollectible. TheCompany also records as an additional allowance a certain percentage of aged accounts receivable, based on historical experience and the Company'sassessment of the general financial conditions affecting its customer base. If actual collection experience changes, revisions to the allowance may berequired. The Company has a limited number of customers with individually large amounts due at any given balance sheet date. Any unanticipatedchange in the creditworthiness of any of these customers could have a material affect on the Company's results of operations in the period in which suchchanges or events occur. After all reasonable attempts to collect an account receivable have failed, the amount of the receivable is written off against theallowance. Based on the information available, the Company believes that its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2008 was adequate.However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments,accounts receivable and notes receivables. The Company places its cash in overnight money market instruments with high quality financial institutions,which, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure in any one financial instrument. The Company principally sells its products domestically tocustomers in diversified industries. (See Note 14).Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, possible disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financialinstruments and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)December 31, 2008 and 2007NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)on-going basis P&F evaluates its estimates, including those related to collectability of account receivable, valuation of inventories, recoverability ofgoodwill and intangible assets and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that arebelieved to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets andliabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method or the weighted average method. Theinventory balance which includes raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead costs, is recorded net of an allowance for obsolete or unmarketableinventory. Such allowance is based upon both historical experience and Management's understanding of market conditions and forecasts of futureproduct demand. If the actual amount of obsolete or unmarketable inventory significantly exceeds the estimated allowance, the Company's cost of sales,gross profit and net earnings would be significantly affected.Property and Equipment and Depreciation and Amortization Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company capitalizes items in excess of $1,000.Minor replacements and maintenance and repair items are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal or retirement of assets, the cost and relatedaccumulated depreciation are removed from the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Depreciation of buildings and machinery and equipment is computed by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.Buildings are depreciated over periods ranging from 10 to 31.5 years, and machinery and equipment is depreciated over periods ranging from 3 to12 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the useful life of the related asset, whichever is shorter.Long-Lived Assets In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", long-lived assets, such as property andequipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate thatthe carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company's assessment of recoverability of property and equipment is performed on anentity level. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of such asset to its estimated undiscountedfuture cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of such asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, animpairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.35Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)December 31, 2008 and 2007NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 141 ("SFAS 141"). SFAS 141 replaced AccountingPrinciples Board Opinion 16 "Business Combination" and requires the use of the purchase method for all business combinations initiated after June 30,2001. Goodwill is carried at cost. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an annual test for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segmentor one level below an operating segment) and between annual tests in certain circumstances. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and OtherIntangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), we test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if we believe indicatorsof impairment might exist. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fairvalue of the Company's reporting units with the reporting unit's carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company generally determines the fair valueof its reporting units using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the expected present value of future cash flows and the marketvaluation approach. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, the Company performs the second step of thegoodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the impliedfair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Intangible assets other than goodwill are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-linebasis over the useful lives of the respective assets, generally five to twenty-five years. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to beheld and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not berecoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and itseventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets that management expects tohold and use is based on the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.Warranty Liability The Company offers its customers certain warranties against product defects for periods ranging from one to three years. Certain products carrylimited lifetime warranties. The Company's typical warranties require it to repair or replace the defective products during the warranty period at no costto the customer. At the time the product revenue is recognized, the Company records a liability for estimated costs under its warranties. The costs areestimated based on historical experience. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amountsnecessary. While the Company believes that its estimated liability for product warranties is adequate and that the judgment applied is appropriate, theestimated liability for the product warranties could differ materially from future actual warranty costs.36Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)December 31, 2008 and 2007NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)Income Taxes The Company files a consolidated Federal tax return. P&F Industries, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries file a combined tax return in New YorkState. All subsidiaries file other state and local tax returns on a stand-alone basis. In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation, or FIN, No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting foruncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". FIN 48prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expectedto be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interimperiods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not havea material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carryingamounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and any operating loss or tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets andliabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to berecovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of any change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes theenactment date of such change. Income tax-related interest and penalties are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes.Advertising The Company expenses its costs of advertising in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2008and 2007 were $1,112,000 and $2,048,000, respectively.Loss Per Common Share Basic loss per common share excludes any dilution. It is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding duringthe year. Diluted loss per common share reflects the effect of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options, unless the effect onearnings is antidilutive. Diluted loss per common share is computed using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the aggregate number of shares of common stockoutstanding reflects the assumed use of proceeds from the hypothetical exercise of any outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of theCompany's Class A Common Stock. The average market value for the period is used as the assumed purchase price.37Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)December 31, 2008 and 2007NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share: Year Ended December 31, 2008 2007 Numerator: Numerator for basic and diluted loss percommon share: Loss from continuing operations $(4,415,000)$(17,223,000) Income from discontinued operations, netof taxes 117,000 3,129,000 Net loss $(4,298,000)$(14,094,000) Denominator: Denominator for basic loss per share—weighted average common sharesoutstanding 3,629,000 3,613,000 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options — — Denominator for diluted loss per share—adjusted weighted average commonshares and assumed conversions 3,629,000 3,613,000 At December 31, 2008 and 2007, and during the years then ended, there were outstanding stock options whose exercise prices were higher thanthe average market values for the respective periods. These options are anti-dilutive and were excluded from the computation of earnings per shareduring the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The weighted average anti-dilutive options outstanding for the years endedDecember 31, 2008 and 2007 were 440,077 and 59,453, respectively. Diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was thesame as basic loss per share, since the effect of the inclusion of common share equivalents would be anti-dilutive, because of the reported loss.Stock-Based Compensation In accordance with SFAS 123(R), the Company's loss for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were approximately$241,000 and $352,000 higher than if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion 25. Compensation expense isrecognized in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item of the Company's statements of operations on a straight-line basis over thevesting periods. There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs at December 31, 2008 and 2007.The fair values of the Company's commonstock options were estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) the expected term wasbased on historical exercises and terminations; (ii) the expected volatility of our shares of common stock was determined using historical volatilitiesbased on historical stock prices over a period of time equal to the expected life of the options; (iii) the dividend yield is 0% as the Company hashistorically not declared dividends and does not expect to declare any in the future and (iv) with respect to risk-free interest rate, the Company appliesthe ten year treasury bill interest rate as of the date of the grant.38Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)December 31, 2008 and 2007NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) The expected term of stock options represents the weighted average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. Because weconsider our options to be "plain vanilla", we estimated the expected term using a modified version of the simplified method of calculation, as prescribedby SAB No.107. This modified calculation uses the actual life for options that have been settled, and a uniform distribution assumption for the optionsstill outstanding. Under SAB 107, options are considered to be "plain vanilla" if they have the following characteristics: granted "at-the-money";exercisability is conditioned upon service through a vesting date; termination of service prior to vesting results in forfeiture; limited exercise periodfollowing termination of service; and options are non-transferable and non-hedgeable.Treasury Stock Treasury stock is recorded at net acquisition cost. Gains and losses on disposition are recorded as increases or decreases to additional paid-incapital with losses in excess of previously recorded gains charged directly to retained earnings.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 forecastedtransactions 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 ora 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 gainor loss on the hedge item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the current period. For derivative instruments that are designatedand 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 particularrisk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated comprehensive income, net of tax(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 fromthe 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. The Company accounts for changes in the fair value of its foreign currency contracts by marking them to market and recognizing any resultinggains or losses through its statements of operations. The Company also marks its yen-denominated payables to market, recognizing any resulting gainsor losses in its statements of operations. At December 31, 2008, the Company had no foreign currency forward contracts to purchase Japanese yen atcontracted forward rates. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded in its cost of sales net realized gains ofapproximately $27,000 and $18,000, respectively, on foreign currency transactions. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no materialunrealized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions.39Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)December 31, 2008 and 2007NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSAdoption of New Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 provides a new single authoritativedefinition of fair value and provides enhanced guidance for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and requires additional disclosures related tothe extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair valuemeasurements on earnings. SFAS 157 became effective as of January 1, 2008. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on ourconsolidated financial position or results of operations. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, Including an amendment ofFASB Statement No. 115", ("SFAS 159"). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items atfair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 was effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2008. The adoption of thisstatement had no effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, since we did not elect the fair value option. In December 2007, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 110, Share-Based Payment, which amends SAB 107, Share-BasedPayment, to permit public companies, under certain circumstances, to use the simplified method in SAB 107 for employee option grants afterDecember 31, 2007. Use of the simplified method after December 2007 is permitted only for companies whose historical data about their employees'exercise behavior does not provide a reasonable basis for estimating the expected term of the options. We currently use the simplified method to estimatethe expected term for employee option grants as adequate historical experience is not available to provide a reasonable estimate. SAB 110 is effective foremployee options granted after December 31, 2007. We adopted SAB 110 effective January 1, 2008 and will continue applying the simplified methoduntil enough historical experience is readily available to provide a reasonable estimate of the expected term for employee option grants.Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" (SFAS 141(R)) to change how an entity accounts forthe acquisition of a business. When effective, SFAS 141(R) will replace existing SFAS 141 in its entirety. SFAS 141(R) carries forward the existingrequirements to account for all business combinations using the acquisition method (formerly called the purchase method). In general, SFAS 141(R)will require acquisition-date fair value measurement of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in the acquiree.SFAS 141(R) will eliminate the current cost based purchase method under SFAS 141. The new measurement requirements will result in the recognitionof the full amount of acquisition-date goodwill, which includes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests. The acquirer will recognize in incomeany gain or loss on the remeasurement to acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred or of previously acquired equity interests in theacquiree. Neither the direct costs incurred to effect a business combination nor the costs the acquirer expects to incur under a plan to restructure anacquired business will be included as part of the business combination accounting. As a result, those40Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)December 31, 2008 and 2007NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)costs will be charged to expense when incurred, except for debt or equity issuance costs, which will be accounted for in accordance with other generallyaccepted accounting principles. SFAS 141(R) will also change the accounting for contingent consideration, in process research and development,contingencies, and restructuring costs. In addition, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in abusiness combination that occur after the measurement period will impact income taxes under SFAS 141(R). SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal yearsand interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We intend to adopt SFAS 141(R)effective January 1, 2009 and apply its provisions prospectively. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have on ourconsolidated financial statements. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, "Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements": an amendment of ARBNo. 51. The new Statement changes the accounting for, and the financial statement presentation of, non-controlling equity interests in a consolidatedsubsidiary. SFAS 160 replaces the existing minority-interest provisions of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) 51, "Consolidated FinancialStatements", by defining a new term—non-controlling interests—to replace what were previously called minority interests. The new standardestablishes non-controlling interests as a component of the equity of a consolidated entity. The underlying principle of the new standard is that both thecontrolling interest and the non-controlling interests are part of the equity of a single economic entity: the consolidated reporting entity. Classifying non-controlling interests as a component of consolidated equity is a change from the current practice of treating minority interests as a mezzanine itembetween liabilities and equity or as a liability. The change affects both the accounting and financial reporting for non-controlling interests in aconsolidated subsidiary. SFAS 160 includes reporting requirements intended to clearly identify and differentiate the interests of the parent and theinterests of the non-controlling owners. The reporting requirements are required to be applied retrospectively. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years andinterim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We intend to adopt SFAS 160 effectiveJanuary 1, 2009 and apply its provisions prospectively. We will also present comparative financial statements that reflect the retrospective application ofthe disclosure and presentation provisions when it applies the requirements of SFAS 160. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS 160will have on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS162identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements ofnongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 daysfollowing the Security and Exchange Commission's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411,"The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The adoption of this statement is not expected to havea material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, statement of operations or cash flows. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards if currently adopted would have a materialeffect on the consolidated financial statements.41Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

On February 14, 2007, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Hy-Tech APA") effective as of February 12, 2007, Hy-Tech, a Delawarecorporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Continental, acquired substantially all of the assets (the "Hy-Tech Purchased Property") of Hy-TechMachine, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, and Quality Gear & Machine, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (collectively, the "Hy-Tech Sellers"). Thepurchase price consisted of $16,900,000 in cash, subject to adjustments, plus the assumption of certain payables and liabilities and the obligation tomake certain contingent payments based on factors described in the Hy-Tech APA. The purchase price was negotiated on the basis of the Hy-TechSellers' 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 generalpartnership comprised of certain shareholders of the Hy-Tech Sellers ("HTM"), pursuant to which Hy-Tech purchased certain real property located inCranberry Township, Pennsylvania from HTM for $2,200,000 in cash. The acquisition of the Hy-Tech Purchased Property and the real property wasfinanced through the Company's senior credit facility. The Company agreed to make additional payments ("Contingent Consideration") to the Sellers. The amount of Contingent Consideration is to bebased on a percentage of the average increase in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") over a two-year period fromthe date of acquisition, over a base year EBITDA of $4,473,000. In addition, the Company agreed to make an additional payment ("AdditionalContingent Consideration"), subject to certain conditions related to an exclusive supply agreement with a major customer and, to a certain extent andsubject to certain provisions, the achievement of Contingent Consideration. This Additional Contingent Consideration may not exceed $1,900,000. Anysuch additional payments for Contingent Consideration or Additional Contingent Consideration, if any, would be payable on or about ninety dayssubsequent 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 the two banks. Theamendment, 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 1/25 of the aggregate principal amountoutstanding on January 31, 2008, commencing on January 31, 2008. From the date of the amendment through January 31, 2008, monthly payments ofinterest only were required and were remitted to the bank. The Company and the co-borrowers have the option to pay interest at a rate based on eitherthe fluctuating prime rate, LIBOR or a combination of the two rates. The new term loan notes shall mature on January 31, 2014. The amendment alsoprovided 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.42Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

("Mestek")and Embassy Manufacturing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mestek ("EMI"), Embassy sold substantially all of its operating assets to EMI.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 thesale to EMI. Embassy has effectively ceased all operating activities. In January 2006, Embassy entered into a Contract of Sale of with J. D'Addario & Company, Inc., ("D'Addario") to sell its Farmingdale, NewYork premises (the "Farmingdale Premises") to D'Addario for a purchase price of $6,403,000. On July 24, 2006, Embassy received a letter (the"Purchaser Letter") from counsel to D'Addario, purporting to terminate the Contract of Sale of the Farmingdale Premises. The Purchaser Letterpurported to terminate the Contract of Sale based upon D'Addario's assertion that Embassy had not satisfied certain requirements and demands that theescrow agent return the down-payment with accrued interest, and that Purchaser be reimbursed for the costs of survey and title examination. Embassy informed D'Addasrio that its purported termination of the Contract of Sale was in default of its obligation to consummate the purchase ofthe Farmingdale Premises under the terms of the Contract of Sale. On August 2, 2006, D'Addario instituted an action against Embassy in the SupremeCourt of the State of New York, County of Suffolk, for breach of contract and return of down-payment, seeking $650,000, together with costs of titleand survey and interest thereon, and the cost of the action. The down-payment remains in escrow pending resolution of this matter. Embassy believesthe action is without merit and is vigorously defending its position. In June 2007, Embassy received approximately $6,300,000 from the sale of the real property it owned, used the after-tax proceeds from the sale tosatisfy the mortgage on the building of approximately $1,200,000 and to reduce its long-term debt.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)December 31, 2008 and 2007NOTE 6—GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)throughout the United States with a greater portion of its revenue being generated in the southern and western regions. According to the U.S.Department of Commerce Census data, new single-unit housing completions were approximately 819,000, 1,218,000, 1,655,000 and 1,636,000 for2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fall-off of single unit housing starts from 2007 to 2008 of 399,000 or 32.8% highlights the significanceof the affect on our Company. The decline in the Hardware segment's primary customer base was exacerbated by a slowing of the general economy anda growing credit and mortgage crisis. The aggregate affect of the foregoing factors adversely affected both the revenue and the operating margin of theCompany's Hardware segment. In accordance SFAS 142, the Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill during the fourth quarter based on conditions as ofNovember 30, 2008. The impairment testing is performed in two steps: (i) The Company compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carryingvalue, and (ii) if there is impairment, the Company measures the amount of impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with thecarrying amount of that goodwill. The revised fair value of a reporting unit is allocated to the assets and liabilities of the business unit to arrive at animplied fair value of goodwill, based upon known facts and circumstances, as if the acquisition occurred at that time. As a result of the Company'stesting, it was determined that the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets were impaired. The Company determines the fair value of itsreporting units using a weighted average of the income approach methodology of valuation which considers the expected present value of future cashflows and the market valuation approach. Although the Hardware segment reported an operating profit for 2008, it should be noted that as an integralpart of the valuation process the Company anticipates minimal growth in future periods, based upon available statistical data pertaining to new homeconstruction, which is the primary market for many of the products sold by this segment as well as input from its senior management staff. As a resultof this impairment test it was determined that goodwill at Woodmark was impaired, resulting in a charge of approximately $411,000. Further, as a resultof this impairment analysis it was determined that the carrying value of the trademark was also impaired, resulting in a $400,000 write-down of thisasset. Lastly, it was determined that the vendor relationships at Woodmark and Pacific Stairs were fully impaired, as such, the Company wrote off theaggregate balance of approximately $6,666,000. During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill based on conditions as of November 30, 2007,in accordance with SFAS 142, and determined that goodwill at Florida Pneumatic and the operating units within the Countrywide segment wereimpaired necessitating a charge of approximately $21,243,000. Further, as a result of this impairment analysis it was determined that the carrying valueof the vendor relationships in other intangible assets was fully impaired. As such, the Company wrote off the balance of approximately $2,219,000. TheCompany believes the intangible assets that were impaired are essentially the result of the significant reduction in new home construction during theyear, which is a critical component to our business along with the general economic down-turn in the geographical sectors in which we market ourproducts. During 2006 and 2005, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce Census data, new single-unit housing starts were 1,655,000 and1,636,000, respectively. However, during 2007, according to the same source, new single-unit housing starts had decreased to 1,218,000. The fall-offof single unit housing starts from 2006 to 2007 was 437,000, or 26.4%. Additionally, during 2007 gross margin percentage at Florida Pneumaticslipped to 26.0%, a decrease of 3.4% points from 29.4% for the year47Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

This was principally the result of price concessions to amajor retail customer and decreased shipments to another retailer. Additionally, during 2007 Florida Pneumatic sold more promotional items than in theprior year. Promotional items generally are sold at lower gross margins, contributing to the lower gross margin for 2007. All of these factors highlightthe key elements driving the decrease in value of goodwill. The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill are as follows: Consolidated Tools Hardware Balance, January 1, 2007 $24,921,000 $2,394,000 $22,527,000 Goodwill acquired during 2007 916,000 916,000 — Goodwill impairment during 2007 (21,243,000) (2,394,000) (18,849,000) Balance, December 31, 2007 4,594,000 916,000 3,678,000 Goodwill impairment during 2008 (411,000) — (411,000) Balance December 31, 2008 $4,183,000 $916,000 $3,267,000 The changes in other intangible assets were as follows: December 31, 2008 December 31, 2007 Cost Accumulatedamortization Net bookvalue Cost Accumulatedamortization Net bookvalue Other intangible assets: Customer relationships $5,070,000 $2,604,000 $2,466,000 $14,130,000 $4,117,000 $10,013,000 Non-compete and Employment agreements 810,000 790,000 20,000 810,000 780,000 30,000 Trademark 299,000 — 299,000 699,000 — 699,000 Drawings 290,000 27,000 263,000 290,000 12,000 278,000 Licensing 105,000 32,000 73,000 105,000 21,000 84,000 Totals $6,574,000 $3,453,000 $3,121,000 $16,034,000 $4,930,000 $11,104,000 The table above reflects impairment charges recorded in the Hardware segment totaling approximately $7,066,000 and $2,219,000 for the yearsended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Woodmark and Pacific Stair both reported decreases in revenue during both 2008 and 2007,primarily the result of the significant downturn in housing starts, which is a key factor for both subsidiaries, as well as the loss of a key customer atWoodmark. There was no impairment charges recorded in the Tools segment. Amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $916,000 and $1,234,000 for the years ended December 31,2008 and 2007, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five years is estimated to be as follows 2009—$360,000; 2010—$361,000;2011—48Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.

The weighted average amortization period for intangible assets was 9.9 years and 13.1 years atDecember 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.NOTE 7—SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS The Company and its subsidiaries as co-borrowers entered into the Credit Agreement, ("Credit Agreement") as amended, with two banks in 2004.This agreement includes a revolving credit loan facility, which provides a total of $18,000,000 for direct borrowings, with various sublimits for lettersof credit, bankers' acceptances and equipment loans. There are no commitment fees for any unused portion of this Credit Agreement. The CreditAgreement is subject to review by the lending banks. During the year, the Company and the banks executed various amendments to the CreditAgreement which, among other things, established new applicable loan margins for both a revolving credit facility as well as for applicable term loanmargins, expanded the definition of eligible inventory, amended certain financial covenants and set February 17, 2009, as the termination date of therevolving credit loan portion of the Credit Agreement facility. Subsequent to year and prior to February 17, 2009 the Company and the banks executedan amendment which essentially extended the termination date of the revolving credit loan portion of the credit agreement facility to March 31, 2009.The Company and the banks are negotiating terms of a further amendment which is intended to, among other things extend the term of the revolvingportion of the facility and restructure the term loans. However, there can be no assurance this will occur. Direct borrowings under the revolving creditloan facility are secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventories and equipment and are cross-guaranteed by each of the Company'ssubsidiaries. These borrowings bear interest at LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate) or the prime interest rate, plus the currently applicable loanmargin. The loan margins added to LIBOR were 2.00% and 1.75% at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The loan margin added to the primeinterest rate at both December 31, 2008 and 2007, was 0.5%. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the balances outstanding on the revolving credit loanfacility were $15,000,000 and $8,000,000, respectively. The foreign exchange line provides for the availability of up to $10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix theexchange rate on future purchases of Japanese yen needed for payments to foreign suppliers. There were no foreign currency forward contractsoutstanding under the foreign exchange line at December 31, 2008. Under the terms of the credit agreement, we are required to adhere to certain financial covenants. At December 31, 2008, we were not incompliance with certain of these financial covenants. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the banks issued an amendment which, among other things,waived compliance with such financial covenants. Further, the amendment modified certain terms and conditions in connection with the creditagreement. The Company believes that this amendment will enable it to be in compliance with financial covenants in future periods. Accordingly, theCompany has not reclassified to current liabilities the long-term portions of our bank debts.

Controls and Procedures Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures We maintain disclosure and control procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under to theSecurities and Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in theSecurities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including ourchief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of thedesign and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as ofDecember 31, 2008. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls andprocedures were effective as of December 31, 2008.Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act). This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and thepreparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:•Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of ourassets; •Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements inaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made in accordance with theauthorizations of our management and directors; and •Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detention of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets thatcould have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements At the conclusion of the year ended December 31, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of ourmanagement, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal control overfinancial reporting. Management based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal Control—Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon that evaluation, the chiefexecutive officer and chief financial Officer concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2008. Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well designed andoperated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness as to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because65Source: P&F INDUSTRIES INC, 10-K, March 31, 2009Powered by Morningstar® Document Research℠The information contained herein may not be copied, adapted or distributed and is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely.
