                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ==========================================

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

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

         The Company conducts its business operations through three wholly-owned
subsidiaries. Embassy Industries, Inc. ("Embassy") is engaged in the manufacture
and sale of baseboard heating products and the importation and sale of radiant
heating systems. Embassy also imports a line of door and window hardware items
through its Franklin division. Florida Pneumatic Manufacturing Corporation
("Florida Pneumatic") is engaged in the importation, manufacture and sale of
pneumatic hand tools, primarily for the industrial and retail markets, and the
importation and sale of compressor air filters. Florida Pneumatic also markets,
through its Berkley Tool division, a line of pipe cutting and threading tools,
wrenches and replacement electrical components for a widely used brand of pipe
cutting and threading machines. Green Manufacturing, Inc. ("Green") is engaged
primarily in the manufacture, development and sale of heavy-duty welded custom
designed hydraulic cylinders. Green also manufactures a line of access equipment
for the petro-chemical industry and a line of post hole digging equipment for
the agricultural industry.

BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these
interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of the results
for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for a full year, since the operations of some of the
Company's subsidiaries are seasonal in nature.

         The consolidated balance sheet information for December 31, 1999 was
derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. These interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with that Report.

                   ==========================================

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

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

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FIRST QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED WITH FIRST QUARTER ENDED
MARCH 31, 1999

         Consolidated revenues increased 14.8%, from $18,108,268 to $20,796,956.
Revenues from pneumatic tools and related equipment increased 13.3%, from
$9,767,148 to $11,069,618, due to the addition of a large new customer obtained
in the fourth quarter of 1999. The increase in revenues would have been greater
by $1,685,000 had it not been for a special promotion that occurred in the first
quarter of 1999. Selling prices of pneumatic tools and related equipment were
virtually unchanged from the first quarter of 1999.

         Revenues from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment increased 15.5%,
from $5,050,745 to $5,835,674, due primarily to an increase in sales to the
wrecker and refuse markets. Selling prices of hydraulic cylinders were virtually
unchanged from the first quarter of 1999.

         Revenues from heating equipment increased 20.6%, from $1,899,890 to
$2,291,404, due primarily to an increase in radiant and commercial product
sales. Revenues from hardware increased 15.1%, from $1,390,485 to $1,600,260,
primarily as the result of a significant increase in sales to a large customer.
Selling prices of all heating and hardware products were virtually unchanged
from the first quarter of 1999.

         Consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, was unchanged
at 30.7%. Gross profit from pneumatic tools and related equipment increased from
38.5% to 38.9%, due primarily to a more profitable product mix. Gross profit
from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment decreased from 15.1% to 14.8%, due
primarily to higher overhead costs resulting from a large increase in state
mandated workers compensation rates. Without these increased costs, gross profit
from hydraulic cylinders and other equipment would have improved to 15.4% as the
result of improvements in factory efficiency. Gross profit from heating
equipment decreased from 34.3% to 34.0%, due primarily to higher material costs
for baseboard product, and gross profit from hardware was virtually unchanged,
going from 28.0% to 27.9%.

         Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses increased
16.2%, from $3,721,495 to $4,325,835, due primarily to the increase in revenues.
As a percentage of revenues, however, these expenses increased only slightly,
from 20.6% to 20.8%. Interest expense increased 16.1%, from $288,305 to
$334,742, as a result of higher interest rates and a slight increase in
short-term borrowings.

         The effective tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
were 37.9% and 38.1%, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                             MARCH 31,     DECEMBER 31,    MARCH 31,

    Shareholders' Equity     $  30,210       $  29,025     $  25,430
</TABLE>

         During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, gross accounts receivable
increased by approximately $113,000, due primarily to increases in accounts
receivable at Embassy and Green as the result of very strong sales during March
2000. The increases at Embassy and Green were partially offset by a decrease in
accounts receivable at Florida Pneumatic due to weaker first quarter 2000 sales
compared to the fourth quarter of 1999. Inventories increased by approximately
$3,281,000, due primarily to restocking required after extremely strong fourth
quarter sales at Florida Pneumatic. Accounts payable increased approximately
$342,000, due primarily to the timing of inventory receipts.

         On July 26, 1999, the Company renewed its credit agreement, as amended,
with European American Bank. This agreement provides the Company with various
credit facilities, including revolving credit loans, term loans for acquisitions
and a foreign exchange line. The revolving credit loan facility provides a total
of $12,000,000, with various sublimits, for direct borrowings, letters of
credit, bankers' acceptances and equipment loans. The amended credit agreement
also includes a step-up period, from the date of renewal through January 31,
2000, during which the total availability under the revolving credit loan
facility was increased to $17,000,000 to support the buildup of inventory
related to a significant new customer. At March 31, 2000, there was $8,000,000
outstanding against the revolving credit loan facility. There was also a
commitment of approximately $405,000 at March 31, 2000 for open letters of
credit.

         The term loan facility provides a commitment of $15,000,000 to finance
acquisitions subject to the lending banks approval. In September 1998,
$10,000,000 of the term loan facility was used to help finance the acquisition
of Green and there was $3,666,667 still outstanding against this facility at
March 31, 2000. This 7-year term loan bears interest at LIBOR (London Interbank
Offered Rates) plus 1.75%. The Company made payments of interest only through
October 1999, at which time payments of both principal and interest became due.
The amended credit agreement also includes a step-up period, from the date of
renewal through January 31, 2000, during which the total availability under the
term loan facility was increased to $18,000,000 to support potential
acquisitions. There was also a standby letter of credit totalling approximately
$821,000 outstanding against this facility at March 31, 2000. This standby
letter of credit was used to secure the Economic Development Revenue Bond
assumed as part of the acquisition of Green.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

         The foreign exchange line provides for the availability of up to
$10,000,000 in foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix the
exchange rate on future purchases of Japanese yen needed for payments to foreign
suppliers. The total amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at
March 31, 2000 was approximately $2,750,000.

         The Company's credit agreement is subject to annual review by the
lending bank. Under this agreement, the Company is required to adhere to certain
financial covenants. At March 31, 2000, and for the three months then ended, the
Company satisfied all of these covenants.

         Capital spending for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was approximately
$215,000. The total amount was provided from working capital. Capital
expenditures for the rest of 2000 are expected to total approximately
$1,500,000, some of which may be financed through the Company's credit
facilities. Included in the expected total for the rest of 2000 are capital
expenditures relating to new products, expansion of existing product lines and
replacement of old equipment.

         The Company, through Florida Pneumatic, imports a significant amount of
its purchases from Japan, with payment due in Japanese yen. As a result, the
Company is subject to the effects of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. The
Company uses a variety of techniques to protect itself from any adverse effects
from these fluctuations, including increasing its selling prices, obtaining
price reductions from its overseas suppliers, using alternative supplier sources
and entering into foreign currency forward contracts. Nevertheless, the
weakening of the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen over the last 12 months has
had a negative effect on the Company's results of operations and its financial
position.

         The Company believes that cash on hand, cash derived from operations
and cash available through borrowings under its credit facilities will be
sufficient to allow the Company to support its capital expenditure program and
to meet its foreseeable working capital needs.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 133 is effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 2001 and requires that all derivative instruments
be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive
income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of the hedge
transaction and the type of hedge transaction. The ineffective portion of all
hedges will be recognized in earnings. The Company is in the process of
reviewing SFAS 133 to determine what impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS 133
will have on its results of operations and its financial position. Based on
current market conditions, the Company does not believe that the impact will be
material.

ITEM 3.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

         The value of the U.S. dollar affects the Company's financial results.
Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect the Company's
gross margins and operating expenses. The Company engages in hedging programs
aimed at mitigating the impact of currency fluctuations. Using primarily forward
exchange contracts, the Company hedges some of those transactions that, when
remeasured according to generally accepted accounting principles, impact the
income statement. Factors that could impact the effectiveness of the Company's
programs include volatility of the currency markets and availability of hedging
instruments. All currency contracts that are entered into by the Company are
components of hedging programs and are entered into for the sole purpose of
hedging an existing or anticipated currency exposure, not for speculation. The
Company does not buy or sell financial instruments for trading purposes.
Although the Company maintains these programs to reduce the impact of changes in
currency exchange rates, when the U.S. dollar sustains a weakening exchange rate
against currencies in which the Company incurs costs, the Company's costs are
adversely affected. At March 31, 2000, the Company held open hedge forward
contracts to deliver approximately $2,750,000 of Japanese yen. The potential
loss in value of the Company's net investment in foreign currency forward
contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in foreign
currency exchange rates at March 31, 2000 is approximately $305,000.
