NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

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

The consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2017 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (“2017 Form 10-K”). The interim financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Form 10-K.

The consolidated financial statements have been reported in U.S. dollars by translating asset and liability amounts of a foreign wholly-owned subsidiary at the closing exchange rate, equity amounts at historical rates and the results of operations and cash flow at the average of the prevailing exchange rates during the periods reported. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign currency translation gains or losses. These gains or losses are presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as “Other comprehensive (loss) income - foreign currency translation adjustment”.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Customer concentration

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accounts receivable from The Home Depot was 42.3% and 31.0%, respectively, of our total accounts receivable. Additionally, for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, The Home Depot accounted for 35.1% and 28.1%, respectively of the Company’s revenue. During the same three and nine-month periods in 2017, The Home Depot accounted for 23.6% and 27.6%, respectively of the Company’s revenue.

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)

The Company

P&F is a Delaware corporation incorporated on April 19, 1963. The Company conducts its business through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental Tool Group, Inc. (“Continental”), which in turn operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”) and Hy-Tech Machine, Inc. (“Hy-Tech”). Exhaust Technologies Inc. (“ETI”) and Universal Air Tool Company Limited (“UAT”) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Florida Pneumatic. Effective April 5, 2017, the Company purchased substantially all of the operating assets, less certain payables of Jiffy Air Tool, Inc., through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Florida Pneumatic. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion. Lastly, the business of Air Tool Service Company (“ATSCO”) operates through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hy-Tech.

Florida Pneumatic manufactures, imports, and sells pneumatic hand tools, most of which are of its own design, primarily to the retail, industrial, automotive and aerospace markets. It 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 brand of pipe cutting and threading machines.

Hy-Tech designs, manufactures and distributes industrial pneumatic tools, industrial gears, hydrostatic test plugs and a wide variety of parts under the brands ATP, ATSCO, OZAT, Numatx, Thaxton and Quality Gear. Industries served include power generation, petrochemical, construction, railroad, mining, ship building and fabricated metals. Hy-Tech also manufactures components, assemblies, finished product and systems for various Original Equipment Manufacturers under their own brand names.

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in those financial statements. Certain significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, contingent consideration, income taxes and deferred taxes. Descriptions of these policies are discussed in the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Significant changes, if any, in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.

Significant Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in "Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of its 2017 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company’s significant accounting policy relating to revenue recognition reflects the impact of the adoption of ASC 606, defined below, effective January 1, 2018. The Company records revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). The Company sells its goods on terms which transfer title and risk of loss at a specified location, which may be our warehouse, destination designated by our customer, port of loading or port of discharge, depending on the final destination of the goods. Other than standard product warranty provisions, our sales arrangements provide for no other post-shipment obligations. The Company offers rebates and other sales incentives, promotional allowances or discounts for certain customers, typically related to customer purchase volume, and are classified as a reduction of revenue and recorded at the time of sale, using the most likely amount approach. The Company periodically evaluates whether an allowance for sales returns is necessary. Historically, we have experienced minimal sales returns. If the Company believes there are material potential sales returns, it would provide the necessary provision against sales.

The Company's performance obligations underlying its core revenue sources remain substantially unchanged. Its revenue is generated through the sale of finished products, and is generally recognized at the point in time when merchandise is transferred to the customer with a fixed payment due generally within 30 to 90 days, and in an amount that considers the impacts of estimated allowances. Further, the Company has made a policy election to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of the products as fulfillment costs rather than as an additional promised service. This election is consistent with the Company’s prior policy, and therefore the adoption of ASC 606 relating to shipping and handling activities did not have any impact on its financial results. Additionally, as the result of the adoption of ASC 606, the Company accounts for certain expenses that in prior periods were accounted for as a selling expense, which are now treated as an adjustment to gross revenue. Accordingly, during the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company reduced its net revenue, gross margin and selling expenses by approximately $321,000 and $779,000 respectively. Additionally, the Company at September 30, 2018 has included in its allowance for doubtful accounts approximately $180,000 that would have been accounted for in its current liabilities prior to the adoption of ASC 606. There are no remaining performance obligations as of September 30, 2018.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which simplified the testing of goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measured a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for public companies for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company concluded that ASU 2017-04 is preferable to the current guidance due to efficiency, since ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirement to determine the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure goodwill impairment. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 in 2017, in conjunction with its annual impairment test of goodwill for all reporting units. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are intended to add or clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows, with the intent of reducing diversity in practice for the eight types of cash flows identified. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public companies' fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018 had no material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company adopted ASC 606 on the first day of fiscal 2018. Its underlying principle is to use a five-step analysis of transactions to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The Company has elected to use the modified retrospective approach. As the Company did not have any sales contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018, there is no adjustment required to its retained earnings. The adoption of ASC 606 will not have an effect on the Company’s cash flows. Other than as discussed earlier in this Note 1, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued accounting standard would have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASC Topic 842 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the previous leases guidance. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years; earlier adoption is permitted. The ASU offers two transition methods: (1) a modified retrospective approach, in which leases shall be measured and recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented with an adjustment to equity in the financial statements in which the ASU is first applied or (2) a prospective approach, in which the Company is allowed to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date. The Company intends to use the prospective approach. Practical expedients are available for election. The Company is currently in the process of completing its assessment of all leases and is assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Thus far the Company believes the adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. However, the Company will continue its evaluation of the standard update through the date of adoption.

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)

In February 2018, the FASB issued No. ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). Under ASU 2018-02, an entity may elect to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period. The Company is evaluating what impact, if any, adoption of ASU 2018-02 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

The SEC has recently issued a final rule (“Rule”) that amends certain of their disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, or changes in the information environment. A financial reporting implication of the Rule addresses interim disclosure changes in stockholders’ equity and non-controlling interests.

Under the requirements in SEC Regulation S-X, Rules 8-03(a)(5) and 10-01(a)(7), as amended by the Rule, registrants must now analyze changes in stockholders’ equity, in the form of a reconciliation, for the current and comparative year-to-date interim periods, with subtotals for each interim period.

The Rule is effective for all filings submitted on or after November 5, 2018. However, the SEC issued guidance that provides some relief to registrants that file Form 10-Q shortly after the Rule’s effective date. It clarifies that the SEC Staff would not object if a filer’s first presentation of changes in shareholders’ equity is included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter that begins after the final rule’s November 5, 2018, effective date given that date’s close proximity to the filing date for most filers’ quarterly reports.

Other Accounting Pronouncement

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries previously deferred from tax, generally eliminates U.S federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries and creates a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). Also, on December 22, 2017, the Staff of the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides for a measurement period of up to one year from the enactment for companies to complete their accounting for the Act. The Company is applying the guidance in SAB 118 when accounting for the enactment-date effects of the Act.

At September 30, 2018 the Company has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act, but has made reasonable estimates of the effects on the re-measurement of its deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as its transition tax liability. During the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company made no adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded at December 31, 2017.

The Act also subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on GILTI earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. Under GAAP, the Company is permitted to make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense only. Given the complexity of the GILTI provisions, the Company is still evaluating the effects of the GILTI provisions and has not yet made an accounting policy election. As of September 30, 2018, because the Company is still evaluating the GILTI provisions, the Company has included tax expense related to GILTI for the current year in the estimated annual effective tax rate and have not provided additional GILTI on deferred items.

Other than the aforementioned, the Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standard, if adopted, will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITION

On April 5, 2017 (the “Jiffy Closing Date”), Bonanza Holdings Corp. (now known as Jiffy Air Tool, Inc.), a Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary (“Jiffy”) of Florida Pneumatic, Jiffy Air Tool, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Jiffy Seller”), The Jack E. Pettit—1996 Trust, the sole shareholder of Jiffy Seller and Jack E. Pettit, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Jiffy acquired (the “Jiffy Acquisition”) substantially all of the operating assets of Jiffy Seller for $5,950,000, in addition to the assumption of certain payables and contractual obligations as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Jiffy manufactures and distributes pneumatic tools and components, primarily sold to aerospace manufacturers. The purchase price was $5,950,000, less a post-closing working capital adjustment of $155,000, which was paid by Jiffy Seller to the Company in June 2017.

Additionally, Jiffy Seller may be entitled to up to $1,000,000 in additional consideration, which is contingent upon Jiffy achieving certain revenue thresholds and other criteria as set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement within two defined measurement periods occurring within approximately the first two years following the Jiffy Closing Date. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has estimated the fair value of this contingent consideration to be $936,000.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, a separate Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement” and together with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the “Agreements”) was entered into between Jiffy Seller and Bonanza Properties Corp. (“Bonanza Properties”), a Delaware corporation and newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Florida Pneumatic, pursuant to which Bonanza Properties purchased certain real property of the Jiffy Seller. Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the purchase price for the real property was $1,050,000.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

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

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

The following table sets forth the elements of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017

Dilutive securities consist of “in the money” stock options.

At September 30, 2017, there were outstanding stock options whose exercise prices were higher than the average market values of the underlying Common Stock for the period.

The weighted average of anti-dilutive stock options outstanding was as follows:

Restricted Stock

The Company, in May 2018, granted 1,250 restricted shares of its Common Stock to each non-employee member of its Board of Directors, totaling 6,250 restricted shares. The Company determined that the fair value of these shares was $8.43 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the grant. These shares cannot be traded earlier than the first anniversary of the grant date. The Company will ratably amortize the total non-cash compensation expense of approximately $53,000, which is included in its selling, general and administrative expenses through May 2019.

The Company, in May 2017, granted 1,000 restricted shares of its common stock to each non-employee member of its Board of Directors, totaling 5,000 restricted shares. The Company determined that the fair value of these shares was $6.17 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the grant. These shares could not have been traded earlier than the first anniversary of the grant date. The Company ratably amortized the total non-cash compensation expense of approximately $30,000 which was included in its selling, general and administrative expenses.

Treasury Stock

On August 9, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 100,000 shares of its common stock over a period of up to twelve months (the “2017 Repurchase Program”). On August 24, 2017, the Company announced that, pursuant to the 2017 Repurchase Program, it had adopted a written trading plan in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A plan under Rule 10b5-1 allows the Company to repurchase shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so by securities laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. Repurchases made under the plan are subject to the SEC’s regulations, as well as certain price, market, volume, and timing constraints specified in the plan. Under the 2017 Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased 94,600 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $753,000.

Additionally, in June 2018, the Company purchased 18,140 shares of its common stock in a privately negotiated transaction outside of the Repurchase Program pursuant to an additional authorization of the Company’s Board of Directors at a total cost of $150,000. The purchase price per share was equal to five percent below the average of the closing price of its common stock for the three days prior to the transaction.

On September 12, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 100,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock (the “2018 Repurchase Program”) from time to time over the next twelve months through a 10b5-1 trading plan, and potentially through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On September 14, 2018, the Company announced that, pursuant to the 2018 Repurchase Program, it had adopted a written trading plan in accordance with the guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Repurchases made under the plan, that commenced on September 17, 2018, are subject to the SEC’s regulations, as well as certain price, market, volume, and timing constraints specified in the plan. Since repurchases under the plan are subject to certain constraints, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the plan. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the program will depend on a number of factors, including the constraints specified in the 10b5-1 trading plan, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. Since the inception of the 2018 Repurchase Program through September 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 5,265 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $44,000.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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

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

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

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

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts.

The fair value of the contingent consideration payable to the Jiffy Seller, of $936,000, included in other current liabilities as of September 30, 2018 was determined applying Level 3 inputs. The fair value of this contingent consideration is being adjusted quarterly.

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

Florida Pneumatic agreed to contribute $1,000,000 to The Home Depot (“THD”). This contribution is consideration payable to a customer. This contribution will be in the form of deductions taken by THD from its remittances to the Company. We anticipate that these deductions will occur during the fourth quarter of 2018. Accordingly, accounts receivable is reduced to reflect the $1 million contribution to THD. As this contribution will benefit future periods, a portion is accounted for as Prepaid expenses and other current assets, with the balance in Other assets. This contribution is being amortized over a four year period, which approximates historical time-frames for similar contributions beginning August 2018, the period in which the Company shipped a new line of products to THD.

NOTE 9 – DEBT

In October 2010, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with an affiliate of Capital One, National Association (“Capital One” or the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement, as amended from time to time, among other things, provides the ability to borrow funds under a Revolver arrangement. Revolver borrowings are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real property. Additionally, there is a $1,600,000 line available for capital expenditures (“Capex line”). The Credit Agreement includes a $100,000 Term Loan, as defined in the Credit Agreement. This Term Loan remains in place to enable the Company and Capital One to facilitate future term loan borrowings more efficiently and in a less costly manner. P&F and certain of its subsidiaries are borrowers under the Credit Agreement, and their obligations are cross-guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement expires in February 2019, unless extended by the parties.

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

Contemporaneously with the acquisition of the Jiffy business discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, (the “2017 Agreement”), with Capital One. The 2017 Agreement, among other things, amended the Credit Agreement by: (1) increasing the maximum amount it can borrow under the Revolver Commitment (as defined) to $16,000,000, subject to certain borrowing base criteria, and (2) modifying certain borrowing base criteria as well as financial and other covenants. The Company incurred $84,000 of debt issue costs in connection with this 2017 Agreement.

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

SHORT–TERM BORROWINGS

Short-term borrowings can be at either LIBOR or at the Base Rate, or a combination of the two, plus the Applicable Margins.

TERM LOAN BORROWINGS

The Term Loan borrowings can be at either LIBOR or at the Base Rate, or a combination of the two, plus the Applicable Margins. LIBOR borrowings at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were 1.50%. The Applicable Margin for borrowings at the Base Rate for the same timeframes was 0.50%. At September 30 2018, the Company had a $100,000 Term Loan, which is included in Current maturities of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2017, this obligation was included in Long-term debt, less current maturities on the consolidated balance sheet. At both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 this Term Loan was at LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin.

In April 2018, the Company borrowed $400,000 against the Capex line. This borrowing is to be repaid in equal principle installments of approximately $6,700, payable monthly, with the balance due in February 2019, unless the Credit Agreement is renewed or extended by the parties. $300,000 of this borrowing is at LIBOR plus Applicable Margin, with the balance of $100,000 at the Base Rate, or prime rate plus Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin added to the all Base Rate, and LIBOR borrowings were 1.50% and 0.50%, respectively. At September 30, 2018, the balance due on the Capex loan was $373,000. While the Company intends to renew or extend the Credit Agreement currently in place, this obligation at September 30, 2018, is included in Current maturities of long-term debt on its consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s Term loan borrowings are:

OUR BUSINESS

P&F and each of its subsidiaries are herein referred to collectively as the “Company.” In addition, the words “we”, “our” and “us” refer to the Company. We conduct our business through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental Tool Group, Inc. (“Continental”), which in turn operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation (“Florida Pneumatic”, or “FP”) and Hy-Tech Machine, Inc. (“Hy-Tech”). Exhaust Technologies Inc. (“ETI”) and Universal Air Tool Company Limited (“UAT”) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Florida Pneumatic. Effective April 5, 2017, we purchased substantially all of the operating assets, and assumed certain liabilities of Jiffy Air Tool, Inc., (“Jiffy”) through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Florida Pneumatic. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion. The business of Air Tool Service Company (“ATSCO”) operates through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hy-Tech.

Florida Pneumatic manufactures, imports and sells pneumatic hand tools, most of which are of its own design, primarily to the retail, industrial, automotive and aerospace markets. It 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 brand of pipe cutting and threading machines.

KEY INDICATORS

Economic Measures

Much of our business is driven by the ebbs and flows of the general economic conditions in both the United States and, to a lesser extent, abroad. We focus on a wide array of customer types including, but not limited to large retailers, aerospace manufacturers, large and small resellers of pneumatic tools and parts, and automotive related customers. We tend to track the general economic conditions of the United States, industrial production and general retail sales.

A key economic measure relevant to us is the cost of the raw materials in our products. Key materials include metals, especially various types of steel and aluminum. Also important is the value of the United States Dollar (“USD”) in relation to the Taiwanese dollar (“TWD”), as we purchase a significant portion of our products from Taiwan. Purchases from Chinese sources are made in USD; however, if the Chinese currency, the Renminbi (“RMB”), were to be revalued against the USD, there could be a negative impact on the cost of our products. Additionally, we closely monitor the fluctuation in the Great British Pound (“GBP”) to the USD, and the GBP to TWD, both of which can have an impact on the consolidated results. In addition, we monitor the number of operating rotary drilling rigs in the United States, as a means of gauging oil production, which is a key factor in our sales into the oil and gas exploration and extraction sector.

As the result of recently imposed tariffs, specifically those imposed on products imported from China, we now must consider tariffs as a key economic measure. The Office of the US Trade Representative (“USTR”) released a list of China-manufactured products that are subject to tariffs of 25%, effective July 6, 2018. A portion of products imported by Florida Pneumatic for its Retail customers is now subject to this tariff.

On September 18, 2018, the USTR announced a second list of Chinese imports that will be subject to additional tariffs. In accordance with the direction of President Trump, the additional tariffs on this group of products will initially be 10 percent commencing September 24, 2018. This announcement further stated that effective January 1, 2019; the level of the additional tariffs could increase to 25 percent. A significant portion of products imported by Florida Pneumatic for our Retail customers are subject to these tariffs.

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

Operating Measures

Key operating measures we use to manage our operations are: orders; shipments; development of new products; customer retention; inventory levels and productivity. These measures are recorded and monitored at various intervals, including daily, weekly and monthly. To the extent these measures are relevant; they are discussed in the detailed sections below.

Financial Measures

Key financial measures we use to evaluate the results of our business include: various revenue metrics; gross margin; selling, general and administrative expenses; earnings before interest and taxes; operating cash flows and capital expenditures; return on sales; return on assets; days sales outstanding and inventory turns. These measures are reviewed at monthly, quarterly and annual intervals and compared to historical periods as well as established objectives. To the extent that these measures are relevant, they are discussed in the detailed sections below 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 (“GAAP”). Descriptions of these policies are discussed in the 2017 Form 10-K. Certain of these accounting policies require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, including, but not limited to those related to bad debts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, warranty reserves, taxes and deferred taxes. We base our estimates on historical data and experience, when available, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the combined results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions. Significant changes, if any, in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued

OVERVIEW

Key factors or events impacting our third quarter 2018 results of operations were:

●

Consolidated net revenue increased 11.9%, compared to third quarter 2017;

●

Consolidated gross margin improved 2.0 percentage points, with Hy-Tech improving 5.6 percentage points;

●

Florida Pneumatic ships the new Home Depot line causing Retail revenue to increase 21.7% despite no Sears’ revenue;

●

Third quarter 2018 Income before income taxes improves to $767,000, from $171,000 in the third quarter 2017.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

We determined that, based on a number of factors including Sears’ continuing financial difficulties, the sale of the Craftsman brand by Sears to Stanley Black & Decker and our level of working capital exposure in relation to our return on that investment pertaining to Sears, it was in our best interest not to renew a supply agreement between us and Sears, effective September 30, 2017. As a result, the comparative results discussed below reflect sales attributable to shipments to Sears during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, whereas there were no shipments to Sears in 2018.

In December of 2017, Florida Pneumatic and The Home Depot (“THD”) agreed to launch an improved line of pneumatic tools to replace the offering at that time. Gross margin for the new product line is projected to be approximately 2% less than recent historic levels. In an effort to assist THD and help promote the roll out of the new products, Florida Pneumatic has agreed to contribute $1,000,000 to THD. We believe this will be contributed some time during the remainder of 2018. This contribution is being ratably amortized over a four year period commencing August 2018, and will be tested for impairment during said period.

We adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018. The most significant impact of this adoption to our results of operations was that beginning January 1, 2018 we now classify certain expenses as deductions against gross revenue, that prior to the adoption, were accounted for as a selling expense. The adoption of ASC 606 reduced our revenue, gross profit and selling expenses approximately $321,000 and $779,000, respectively, for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018.

We believe that over time several newer technologies and features will have a greater impact on the market for the Company’s traditional pneumatic tool offerings. This evolution has been felt initially by the advent of some cordless operated hand tools in the automotive aftermarket. We are currently evaluating the development of more advanced technologies in our tool platforms.

There was a 25 percent tariff imposed on certain Chinese-made products that we sell to our Retail customers effective July 6, 2018. We were able to pass through most of the additional costs of this tariff. Further, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (“USTR”) announced that effective September 24, 2018, a new group of Chinese–made products are subject to an additional 10% tariff. The USTR stated that starting January 1, 2019, the level of the additional tariffs on this second group of products will increase to 25 percent. Both tariffs increase the costs of many of the products we sell to our Retail customers.

We are currently in discussion with our Retail customers to determine how to resolve the additional costs incurred resulting from the September 24, 2018 tariff. There is no guarantee that we will be able to pass through these newer tariffs. Should we be unable to pass through such additional costs, our gross margin on these products will be severely impacted, or cause us to terminate certain customer relationships.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

Other than the aforementioned, or that may be discussed further in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, there are no major trends or uncertainties that had, or we could reasonably expect could have, a material impact on our revenue, nor was there any unusual or infrequent event, transaction or any significant economic change that materially affected our results of operations.

The tables below provide an analysis of our net revenue for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

FP’s third quarter 2018 Retail revenue increased 21.7% over the same period in 2017 despite the loss of Sears’ revenue, which during the third quarter of 2017 was approximately $1.2 million. This improvement was due to FP shipping the roll-out of THD new, refreshed line of pneumatic tools and accessories. However, as is common with the roll-out of new lines, we believe it is likely that our fourth quarter of 2018 may be slightly less than the fourth quarter of 2017, as both THD stores and their distribution centers will be well stocked and may not require as much replenishment. The slight decline in Automotive revenue this quarter, compared to the same three-month period in 2017 was due primarily to a decrease in consumer product demand for our AIRCAT tools sold through a major on-line distributor, and to a lesser degree, a decline in revenue from our UAT division headquartered in the United Kingdom. The significant improvement in FP’s Industrial/catalog revenue was driven primarily by greater demand of product in all sectors. The Jiffy acquisition in April 2017 enabled us to approach the aerospace sector with a much stronger brand and breadth of products. As the Jiffy management team continues to improve manufacturing, output revenue this quarter increased 19.3% greater than the same period one year ago. As FP continues to focus on its main product lines, its Other products revenue has declined. It is likely this trend will continue.

FP’s nine-month comparisons reflect similar results to those of the third quarter. Specifically, its Retail revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 is down only $1.3 million, even with the loss of Sears’ revenue of approximately $3.4 million. For the first nine months of 2018 our Automotive revenue increased over the same period in 2017 by 6.1%, due primarily to consumer demand for our AIRCAT tools. On a year-to-date basis FP’s Industrial/catalog revenue has increased 23.8% of the same period a year ago. This improvement is due to expanded market penetration and greater product acceptance throughout all sectors. Lastly, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 Jiffy’s monthly average revenue is approximately $876,000, compared to $680,000, which was Jiffy’s monthly average revenue for the six-month period of April 5, 2017 (the acquisition date) through September 30, 2017. This improved performance is due primarily to enhanced manufacturing processes and overall improved production efficiencies.

Hy-Tech

Hy-Tech designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of industrial products under the brands (ATP, ATSCO, OZAT and NUMATX), as well as private label brands (OEM). These products include heavy duty air tools and air motors, industrial grinders, impact sockets, hydro-pneumatic riveters and other air powered systems. All of these products are categorized as ATP for reporting purposes. Hy-Tech’s other product lines, Thaxton and Quality Gear, are reported with its general machining business as “Other” below.

The 7.3% increase in ATP revenue this quarter compared to the same period in 2017 is due primarily to growth in our “Engineered Solutions” initiative. This program pursues alternate markets where Hy-Tech can exploit its engineering and manufacturing expertise, and develop different applications for its tools, motors and accessories. Revenue from this offering improved 163% over the same period in 2017. Further, new orders continue to increase. Open orders for the Engineered Solutions program at September 30, 2018 were $1.8 million, nearly doubling the level at June 30, 2018, and more than $1 million greater than the level at September 30, 2017. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, revenue from a large ATSCO customer declined, yet revenue on a year to date basis, compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, is more than $700,000 greater. This quarterly decline was partially offset by an increase in revenue from the higher gross margin NUMATX product offering. However, as Hy-Tech’s Engineered Solutions and NUMATX lines continue to expand, Hy-Tech’s Other, lower gross margin revenue declined this quarter, compared to the third quarter 2017. We believe it is likely that Hy-Tech’s Other revenue will continue to decline, as it focuses on the more profitable product offerings.

The primary component contributing to the improvement in Hy-Tech’s nine-month 2018 revenue, compared to the same period in 2017, was increased shipments to a large ATSCO customer, with shipments to this customer increasing 39%. Additionally, nine-month revenue from Hy-Tech’s Engineered Solutions has improved 67%, when compared to the same period in 2017. Its NUMATX product offering is beginning to gain momentum as well. As a result of the above, ATP grew by 16.6%.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Continued

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (Continued)

As discussed earlier in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, we adopted ASC 606. This adoption reduced net revenue this quarter by $321,000, thus resulting in a similar reduction to gross profit, thus lowering FP’s quarterly gross margin by 2.3 percentage points. Despite this reduction, FP’s gross margin for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, increased 0.9 percentage points, compared to the same period in 2017. Several factors drove the improvement in FP’s third quarter 2018 gross margin, compared to the same period in 2017. Some of which were product mix, improved overhead absorption, and favorable foreign exchange rates.

When comparing the third quarter of 2018 to the same period in the prior year, Hy-Tech improved its overall gross margin by 5.6 percentage points, due primarily to: (a) greater absorption of its manufacturing overhead costs, driven by greater through-put at its facility; (b) product mix, (c) price increases on certain product lines, and (d) Hy-Tech has also been able to reduce its obsolete and slow moving inventory charges, compared to the same period a year ago.

FP’s gross margin for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, was impacted by several factors, the most significant of which was the adoption of ASC 606 that negatively affected its gross profit by $779,000, effectively lowering year to date gross margin by 2.0 percentage points. Promotional discounts offered on its AIRCAT line earlier this year also negatively affected FP’s year to date gross margin. Improved absorption, product mix, and, to a lesser degree, foreign exchange helped to reduce the negative factors.

Hy-Tech’s improved gross margin reported for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, continues to be driven by greater absorption of its manufacturing overhead costs, better product mix, and price increases. Further, when comparing the nine–month periods, ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, Hy-Tech has been able to better manage and control quantity levels thus reducing its obsolete and slow-moving inventory charges.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

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

During the third quarter of 2018, our SG&A was $5,737,000, compared to $5,352,000 for the same three-month period in 2017. As the result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard ASC 606, discussed above, we now classify certain expenses totaling $321,000 incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, as reductions against gross revenue that, prior to the adoption, were accounted for as SG&A. These same expenses during the third quarter of 2017 aggregated to $224,000. Other significant components to the net change include: (i) an increase in compensation expenses of $315,000, which is comprised of base salaries and wages, accrued performance-based bonus incentives, associated payroll taxes and employee benefits; (ii) an increase in variable expenses, such as commissions, freight out, travel, advertising and promotion expenses of $384,000; and (iii) a decrease in professional fees and services of $68,000.

Our SG&A for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 was $16,366,000, compared to $15,765,000 for the same period in 2017. The most significant item contributing to the net increase of $601,000 is additional operating expenses incurred at Jiffy during the first quarter of 2018 of $581,000, whereas there were no Jiffy SG&A expenses during the first quarter of 2017. As a result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition standards, we now are required to classify as adjustments to net revenue, certain expenses, which aggregated approximately $779,000 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 that prior to the adoption were accounted for as SG&A during the same period in 2017. These same expenses during the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 aggregated to $645,000. Other significant non-Jiffy components include: (i) an increase in compensation expenses of $459,000, which is comprised of base salaries and wages, accrued performance-based bonus incentives, associated payroll taxes and employee benefits; (ii) increases in variable expenses of $525,000 due primarily to lower Retail revenue; (iii) reductions in professional fees of $439,000, which related to the Jiffy Acquisition; (iv) increases in our stock-based compensation of $147,000, and (v) lower depreciation and amortization expenses of $101,000.

Other expense (income)

Other expense (income) of $28,000 and $85,000, respectively, for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, represents the adjustment of the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation to the Jiffy Seller as discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. The three-month period ended September 30, 2017 amount of $11,000 was an adjustment to the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation to the Jiffy Seller. Other income of $13,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 is due to the receipt of the balance of escrowed funds related to the sale in November 2016 of the real property located in Tampa, Florida offset by the fair value adjustment.

The interest expense on our short-term borrowing increased this quarter compared to the same period in the prior year due to slightly higher average interest rates and higher average borrowing. At September 30, 2017, our short term borrowing payable to the Bank was $2,334,000, whereas at September 30, 2018 the short term borrowing balance is $3,607,000. Interest on Term loans increased as the result of the creation of a new Capital expenditure loan. The increase in amortization of debt issue costs is due to the expenses incurred with the amendment to our Loan and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) in April 2017 that related to the Jiffy acquisition.

Our average balance of short-term borrowings during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 was $4,060,000 and $2,834,000, respectively, compared to $3,635,000 and $3,263,000, respectively, during the same three and nine-month periods in 2017.

Income taxes

At the end of each interim reporting period, we estimate our effective tax rate expected to be applied for the full year. This estimate is used to determine the income tax provision or benefit on a year-to-date basis, and may change in subsequent interim periods. Accordingly, our effective tax rate for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 was 29.5% and 29.3%, respectively, compared to 97.1% and 136.5%, respectively, for the same three and nine-month periods in 2017. The effective tax rates for both periods were affected primarily by state taxes, non-deductible expenses and foreign tax rate differentials.

In addition to those items mentioned above that affected our effective tax rates was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) which was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries previously deferred from tax, generally eliminates U.S federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries and creates a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”). Also on December 22, 2017, the Staff of the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) which provides for a measurement period of up to one year from the enactment for companies to complete their accounting for the Act. We are applying the guidance in SAB 118 when accounting for the enactment-date effects of the Act.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

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

	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Working Capital	$	23,425,000	$	24,278,000
Current Ratio		3.03 to 1		4.08 to 1
Shareholders’ Equity	$	46,638,000	$	46,013,000

Credit facility

In October 2010, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with an affiliate of Capital One, National Association (“Capital One” or the “Bank”). The Credit Agreement, as amended, among other things, provides the ability to borrow funds under a Revolver arrangement. Revolver borrowings are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real property. Additionally, there is a $1,600,000 line available for capital expenditures (“Capex line”). The Credit Agreement also includes a Term Loan, (the “Term Loan”) as defined in the Credit Agreement. This Term Loan remains in place to enable the Company and Capital One to facilitate future term loan borrowings more efficiently and less costly, should a need arise. P&F and certain of its subsidiaries are borrowers under the Credit Agreement, and their obligations are cross-guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement expires in February 2019. We believe that we will enter into a new credit agreement with Capital One or another financial institution prior to such expiration date.

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

Contemporaneously with the acquisition of the Jiffy business discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, (the “2017 Agreement”), with Capital One. The 2017 Agreement, among other things, amended the Credit Agreement by: (1) increasing the maximum amount we can borrow under the Revolver Commitment (as defined) to $16,000,000, subject to certain borrowing base criteria, and (2) modifying certain borrowing base criteria as well as financial and other covenants. We incurred approximately $84,000 of debt issue costs in connection with the 2017 Agreement.

Term Loan and Capex borrowings can be at either LIBOR or at the Base Rate, or a combination of the two, plus the Applicable Margins. Applicable Margins for LIBOR borrowings at September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017 were 1.50%. The Applicable Margin added to the Base Rate borrowings for the same timeframes was 0.50%. At September 30 2018, we had a $100,000 Term Loan borrowing which is included in Current maturities of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet. At both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 this Term Loan was at LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin.

In April 2018, we borrowed $400,000 against the Capex line. This borrowing is to be repaid in equal principle installments of approximately $6,700 payable monthly, with the balance due in February 2019, unless the Credit Agreement is extended by the parties. $300,000 of this borrowing is at LIBOR plus Applicable Margin, with the balance of $100,000 at the Base Rate, or prime rate plus Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin added to the all Base Rate, and LIBOR borrowings were 1.50% and 0.50%, respectively. At September 30, 2018, the balance due on the Capex loan was $373,000. While we intend to renew the Credit Agreement currently in place, this obligation at September 30, 2018, is included in Current maturities of long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - Continued

We provide Capital One with monthly financial statements, borrowing base certificates and certificates of compliance with various financial covenants. Should an event of default occur the interest rate on all borrowings would increase by two percent per annum during the period of default, in addition to other remedies provided to Capital One.

We believe that should a need arise for us to borrow funds in excess of the Revolver and Term loans currently available to us under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we believe we would be able to secure additional funds based on the value of our real property or other assets from our Bank or other sources.

Cash flows

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, our net cash increased to $1,729,000 from $1,241,000 at December 31, 2017. Our total bank debt at September 30, 2018 was $4,080,000 and $2,028,000 at December 31, 2017. The total debt to total book capitalization (total debt divided by total debt plus equity); at September 30, 2018 was 8.0% and at December 31, 2017 was 4.2%.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, we received approximately $737,000 from the exercise of stock options.

In February, May and August 2018, our Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.05 per share of our common stock, which were paid in March, May and August 2018, respectively. The total dividends paid during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 were $544,000. We intend to maintain the dividend policy; however, the declaration of dividends under this policy going forward is dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

On August 9, 2017, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to 100,000 shares of our common stock over a period of up to twelve months. (See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements.) During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018, we repurchased approximately 14,000 and 48,000 shares, respectively, at a cost of approximately $115,000 and $395,000, respectively.

In June 2018, unrelated to the 2017 Repurchase Program, we purchased 18,140 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $150,000 in a privately negotiated transaction. The purchase price per share was equal to five percent below the average of the closing price of its common stock for the three days prior to the transaction.

In September 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to 100,000 shares of our common stock (the “2018 Repurchase Program”). Since inception of the 2018 Repurchase Program, we repurchased approximately 5,265 shares of our common stock, the cost of which was approximately $44,000. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for further information.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, we used $1,757,000 for capital expenditures, compared to $444,000 during the same period in the prior year. Capital expenditures for the balance of 2018 are expected to be approximately $360,000, some of which may be financed through our credit facilities with Capital One, or financed through independent third party financial institutions. The remaining 2018 capital expenditures will likely be for machinery and equipment, tooling and computer hardware and software.

Customer concentration

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accounts receivable from The Home Depot was 42.3% and 31.0%, respectively, of our total accounts receivable. Additionally, revenue from The Home Depot during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 was 35.1% and 28.1%. For the same three and nine-month periods in 2017 The Home Depot revenue accounted for 23.6% and 27.6%, respectively. We believe the loss of The Home Depot would negatively impact our financial condition, but would not affect our ability to remain a going concern.

As previously mentioned, we elected not to renew an agreement with Sears, which expired September 30, 2017.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Refer to Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting standards and pronouncements.

We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases, on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, in February 2018, the FASB issued No. ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”). Under ASU 2018-02, an entity may elect to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act on items within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period. We are currently evaluating what impact, if any, adoption of ASU 2018-02 may have on our consolidated financial statements.

The Rule is effective for all filings submitted on or after November 5, 2018. However, after issued guidance that provides some relief to registrants that file Form 10-Q shortly after the Rule’s effective date. It clarifies that the SEC Staff would not object if a filer’s first presentation of changes in shareholders’ equity is included in its Form 10-Q for the quarter that begins after the final rule’s November 5, 2018, effective date given that date’s close proximity to the filing date for most filers’ quarterly reports.

Other than the aforementioned, we do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standard, if adopted, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated, as of September 30, 2018, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, which were designed to be effective at the reasonable assurance level. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018, the Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at that date.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
